LOS ANGELES, January 23, 2013—Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu won a third term yesterday and remains the Prime Minister of Israel. Israelis again decided to vote for security over self-immolation, despite the continued expected hostility from the leaders of the United States and United Nations.
The global left immediately tried to downplay the results.
Mr. Netanyahu won by less than was expected, and by a smaller margin than he had in a previous victory. In America, Barack Obama won a similar victory yet claimed a mandate to turn America into France.
“Elections have consequences,” and the Obama message of “I won, you lost,” is how he plans to govern.
Yet somehow, the left does not accept a Netanyahu victory because he did not cover the point spread.
Mr. Netanyahu was expected to “barely” have 61 or 62 seats out of the 120 Knesset seats available. This “bare majority” is exactly that. He gets to govern.
Whenever a conservative wins a close election, that leader is told to moderate their positions, hew to the center, and represent all the people. Yet when a leftist ekes out a win, they are encouraged to “pulverize” and “destroy” conservative opposition.
Mr. Netanyahu may decide to form another hard right government. He may reach out to a new centrist party that had a surprisingly strong showing. Yet what the anti-Likud, anti-Bibi, and anti-conservative media will not report is the real story.
The left in Israel is irrelevant. Labour is in shambles. What Obama wants to do to the Republican Party, Bibi has done to Labour. He has crushed, vanquished, and at this moment in history, all but eradicated them.
The people of Israel want peace, but their top priority is security. They know that the 1993 Oslo accords were a complete failure. They know the Palestinians are not a partner for peace. Enough of the Israeli left has come to accept that singing “Hatikva” with murderers does not make them friends.
The centrist party said it will not join any coalition unless Bibi takes steps for peace with Palestinians. The “hard-liners” want Israel to annex large parts of the West Bank. The hard-liners have been proven right over and over again regarding Palestinian behavior. The voters this time did not give them a blank check, but a “smaller than expected” governing majority is still a majority in the same way winning a sporting event by one point is still a victory.
Mr. Netanyahu may decide to turn away from the hard right and form a center-right government. The leader of the centrists, Yair Lapid, has insisted he will not be a “fig leaf” in a new government. Yet that is exactly what he will be. When he does not get his way, he will do what every center-left Israeli movement does. He will try to blackmail Likud by threatening to destabilize the government. That will backfire and allow Netanyahu to say that the people on the right are the only ones he can work with. The real conservative coalition will then reunite.
It seems the only people correctly analyzing the results are the Palestinians. They understand that any government headed by Netanyahu will be business as usual. Bibi will make some token gestures, but nothing will change. Houses will continue to be built on land Israel won in the 1967 war. Palestinians will continue rotting in their self-inflicted misery. The world community will condemn Israel, but remain impotent.
Israelis know that their nation is difficult to govern, and that Bibi is the one man in these times who can actually govern it. Although this was not the expected landslide, Israel nevertheless once again cast a vote against national suicide and in favor of its own right to exist.

Woke up early and was ready to go to the rec center, but it was still closed at 8:30 a.m.
So I had just enough time I thought to go to 24 hour Nautilus. I can't
find my membership letter, but Winnie let me in anyway. Was able to do
all the prison bar workout and Roman Chair and some crunches with abs
feeling really strong. Now for some reason my comp is acting up. Let me
just say I feel really pumped, and I have to commit more to my
training. I've raced already and the taper portion is way done.

More Therapy Please
Every once in a while there will be a patient or two who come to the department asking what else they can do after receiving services earlier in the day. Some patients will even "hang out" in the department, awaiting their turn for us to see them. While waiting they will ask questions regarding their care.
These patients are unique in that they demand extra time. Although they work hard, they can also be distracting as we try to treat other patients who need services. These patients are driven, which is good, but consume so much time and energy that it can be difficult to move on to other patients.
I have tried to put them to work by lifting weights, or using the bike or UBE but this is only a short convenience for me. When they stop after a couple of minutes, they ask questions, comment on another patient's treatment or try to engage me in conversation. My impression is these people are bored and want to do something constructive, but also want to get better or else they would not be there. Then there is the issue of how much time do I bill for the time away from other patients?
I always figure if patients have the temerity to self-propel to the therapy gym, they want to work. But when they become a distraction it is time for them to go. I just don't want to be the person to ask them to leave. | <urn:uuid:b489c5b1-9372-487a-ae57-9e6df11f872b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.advanceweb.com/blogs/pt_5/archive/2010/05/12/more-therapy-please.aspx | 2013-05-18T07:20:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981879 | 286 |
i am only 12 weeks pregnant, i started getting cramps about 12 this after noon and at about 6 o'clock tonight i started bleeding. i went to the ER they did an ultrasound and the baby was fine moving all over and had a strong heart beat. so they said that i have to take it easy and watch the bleeding andd if it gets worse to come back in but they are not sure what caused the bleeding and cramping. im hopeing that its just because i was over worked today im just scared because i never had bleeding when i was pregnant with my first...im scared anyone go through this and not misscarry???
Been there, done that. I was 19 weeks along... almost 20. I started bleeding about 5 at night, and My fiance took me to the hospital, they checked fetal heartbeat and did a quick ultrasound. Then they kept me in the hospital that night to monitor my bleeding. Sent me home the next night after some very thorough ultrasounds that morning. Told me bedrest and pelvic rest.
He is absolutely fine and healthy, and I'm 29 weeks along now.
As long as they said the LO is fine, try not to worry about it too much... I had some serious bleeding and cramping on and off up until about 12 weeks. They told me I had a subchorionic hematoma, meaning part of the placenta had separated from my uterine wall which was causing a bleed. In most pregnancies this resolves itself, from what I've been told. Mine fixed itself, and everything is fine now. Maybe ask your OB to check for a hematoma? Mine was just a small one but it can sure cause some scary bleeding. I'm sure everything is fine! Just try to relax as much as you can.
I would ask for a second opinion at a different hospital.... I've never experienced that but have witnessed others around me and the outcome wasn't a good one...I'm currently pregnant and it's my 2nd child and if it happened to me I'd be in a different hospital as soon as I was sent home by the 1st...
Did they put you on bedrest or anything? I'm surprised if you are bleeding as bad as you say you are that they wouldn't admit you like they did me... I was further along, BUT you would think they would want to try to prevent miscarrying.
i was in the hospital from 630 to 8 because my bleeding slowed down thats the only reason they discharged me but they said if i start bleeding as bad as i was when i came in to go back in...they gave me some pain killers and sent me home they want me to go see my ob tomorrow to get more info so idk i never did like our hospital but its the only one within 65 miles or i would have gone to another hospital...
I live in a small town, and our hospital is kinda crappy, but they would've never sent me home. Did they do a pelvic exam at all? Because thats how they determined to keep me. | <urn:uuid:a2fb16f5-60c0-4515-88cc-7c0e495ece6a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a19563345/scared | 2013-05-18T06:33:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991007 | 625 |
I just saw this post now, I hope this is still helpful. I breastfed on Cipro and Flagyl when my LO was around 1 year old-but she was still bfing 8-12 times a day. My GI said it was okay to continue with breastfeeding, and based on the info I got from my LC I felt okay breastfeeding (especially since I was only taking the drugs for 1 month). I would suggest contacting a lactation consultant to help guide you to the best choice for you and your LO.

aww, who would judge you about this?!?
Your doctor can hopefully help you distinguish between baby blues, which is normal, and potential post partum depression which is dangerous. I hope you feel better soon.
What you're feeling is completely normal.
With my first child (had her two years ago), I had the baby blues for about a month after she was born. Keep in mind, you're still recovering from a major physical event. It will take a while for you to even out mentally/physically. It is also normal for you to doubt that you're a good mom. Trust me, you are a good mom!
Things will fall into place. Just make sure that, as time goes by, that you're feeling better. If you're feeling worse you should talk to your doctor. While the baby blues is pretty normal, post-partum depression is not and should be treated. Just be aware of your feelings ... everything will be all right! :)
What you re feeling is totally normal.
Try to keep in mind that you are very hormonal, overtired, and this is all new to you.... so your self-judgement is probably way off...I bet you are doing a great job as new mom!
Also newborns are very forgiving (read forgetting) :) you do get to learn things as you go! :) | <urn:uuid:3108ed76-cd1b-4606-afb4-65e649eef69c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a31079311/baby_blues..dont_judge | 2013-05-18T08:10:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97736 | 279 |
I've used it once, the person was using extremely offensive language and calling people every name in the book and basically asking for reports. It was quite a while ago though.
Never used the report button- I come from a family where heated debates and different views are what we do for fun. No sense in getting hurt or upset. I believe in trying to explain a point of view or comment if it came across wrong, though...Actually had a debate with my dad today about the abortion topic and we both have mixed feelings about it, but we enjoyed taking a view and sticking to it for the lenghth of our convo. In the end we both felt that its a right, but not something we like...I like to think that is what we do here. Just because we dont agree with something, we defend the right for it to be done, because not to is a violation of all of our rights. | <urn:uuid:fac177fd-90fe-4ed3-993e-94a35483f7e5> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a32945434/do_you_freely_use_the_report_button?cpg=2&csi=2380803484&pd=-12 | 2013-05-18T06:55:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98236 | 187 |
It's been at least two days since my baby has pooped. In the fewdays before, he'd poop about once every 24-25 hours , and before that about twice a day. He's got plenty of wet diapers and is still passing gas. Can he be constipated?
You can try the thermometer trick, just have a diaper and wipes handy! Get the thermometer and rectally take the temp. Just insert the very tip. This relaxes their booty and poop will come pouring out of they are constipated. Good luck !
Your baby's emotions are becoming more obvious. Over the next few months, she may learn to assess and imitate moods and might show the first stirrings of empathy. For instance, if she hears someone crying, she may start crying too. Read More
Your baby's newfound mobility means that he's now entering the land of bumps and falls. These are an inevitable part of childhood, and although your heart may occasionally skip a beat or two, try to enjoy watching your baby... Read More
Your baby's now exploring objects by shaking them, banging them, dropping them, and throwing them before falling back on the tried-and-true method of gumming them. The idea that you do something with an object is beginning to emerge... Read More
Your baby's vision - previously about 20/40 at best - is now almost adult-like in its clarity and depth perception. Though your baby's short-range sight is still best, his long-range vision is good enough to recognize people and objects across a room.

Its not a problem to the store, its a problem for the individual worker when they have to go chasing carts around in wind/rain/cold/snow... also, common courtesy goes a long way.
I love when someone has pushed their cart against my car and i have to move it to get it, nice.
or when their is a spot open close to the door and an elderly person drives by it because she cant get in the spot because someone who parked their last decided to leave their cart in the middle of the spot... and the workers havent got to it yet because they are on the otherside of the parking lot gathering a cart that has blown a mile away.
I will say that if I am shopping with both of my children I usually don't put the cart back if the cart stall is far from my car. I put my children in the car before my groceries so I know they are safe and putting a cart back in the correct place is not worth me leaving my children unattended in my vehicle. If I am at the store alone I always put it away.
I agree joni it is hard when you put your kids in car then groceries, i just park close to a cart thing, then i can grab one out and put my kids in it to get into the store safer than trying to carry the baby and have the other two hang on to me. Then when i come out its right there so easy to put it back.
If it's pouring rain or -10 degrees outside, I'm going to park as close to the store as possible, which means I'm probably not anywhere near a cart holder. After getting drenched or freezing unloading my son, diaper bag, pocketbook, and groceries into the car, the last thing I feel like doing is leaving my son in the car unattended so I can walk halfway across the lot to stuff the carriage into an overfilled cart stall, then halfway across the lot back. Call me lazy if you want, I'm not going to catch pnemonia and leave my son alone for 2-3 minutes to avoid leaving my carriage in an empty spot that likely already has 3 other carts in it. When it's nice out, I don't mind the extra walking. When it's January and the parking lot is essentially an ice-skating rink, it's dark and tempratures are in the teens- not so much.
So if you're making someone's job harder by leaving more carts out, which takes away time that they could be bagging groceries, are you then rude for buying too many groceries, and they have to spend more of their time bagging instead of cart collecting?
I agree with jsaiz. I put my son in the car first then my groceries and I am not leaving him to put a cart back. Also I worked in a grocery store for 10 years. At my store the people who were charged with getting the carts liked that job much more than baggin groceries. Usually they perferred to be outside and kinda be their own boss. When I had to call them in to help bag they were never happy and would be watching out the window for enough carts to pile up so they could escape. I worked in a very large and busy store with a big parking lot and it was their job to just do carts and only bag if there was a huge back up inside. They did not mind the carts being out of place since it allowed them more time outside then having to come in and bag. Plus I live in New England and we have hot summers, rainy spings and falls and very cold winters. It didn't seem to matter and they wnted to be outside more than they wnted to be bagging. So i dont even really feel bad about leaving the cart out.
I try to always put the cart back where it belongs, but if I don't, for whatever reason (lazy, weather, rushing), I try to at least pop the front wheels up on the curb so that it doesn't roll around and hit someone else's parked car.
This is our first baby, and I hadn't thought about the issue of either unloading the baby last (and carrying her across the parking lot back to the car) or putting her in the car first and then leaving her to put the cart away. I have to say, I can't see me leaving her in the car unattended while I put a cart away. (But parking near the cart well seems like the best plan when possible.) | <urn:uuid:2e632830-b698-4a14-865e-ece82feef0f6> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a37340359/carts_in_a_parking_lot?cpg=2&csi=2399331608&pd=-2 | 2013-05-18T05:31:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983101 | 927 |
OP: My sister curbside "shops" ----picks up free stuff that people throw out-- she will then sell the items at a yard sale or at a consignment shop. Even though she works 40 hours a week as a receptionist the extra money she makes is how she feeds, clothes and puts a roof over her DS head.
May you never be so poor that YOU need to sell free items to feed your family.
If someone coupons, it is almost like a job. You clip, you organize, you plan, you make the trip to the store (often multiple trips). If you get things for free, and you sell them for less than the regular retail, what is the harm. You should get reimbursed for you effort, the cost of coupons (the paper, ink for your printer, etc), the cost of the gas, the cost of your time.
I also look at it as, maybe the people selling really need the money. Maybe they are in a difficult situation. You never know what someone's situation is. Even outward appearances can be deceiving. My family (to an outsider) would appear to be living a comfortable life, but because of a huge debt acquired when DH was out of work (b/c we just kept charging things we needed: food, gas, oil, etc) we are struggling to pay bills and are 2 months behind on our mortgage. We are on a budget to get caught up, but from the outside, other people wouldn't think that we are struggling b/c we both work, we have a nice house, newer cars (which we just paid off), etc. We don't go out to eat, we don't buy stuff we don't need, even clothes and stuff comes mostly from thrift stores. My point is, don't judge people b/c even if it seems like they don't need the money maybe they do. If a struggling single mom wants to buy deodorant or toothpaste for $1, it is still chaper than retail, so it helps her out too.
I'd like to suggest before selling off stockpile in a garage sale that you look up your city ordinances about selling items. Some cities ordinances specificaly prohibit the selling of "new" items in a garage sale. Make sure you are ok legally. I'm sure nobody would say anything about the odd tube of toothpaste but if your entire sale is stockpiled goodies...it could come bact to bite you.
When things are money makers or very cheap/free at CVS, I do buy them to build my ECB's to get more things I will use from future ads, even if I don't use it. Then, I do sell these things on my local FB yard sale site and don't see why there is a problem doing so? My prices aren't jacked up and well under retail. I spent the time to research the sale, collect the coupons, shop and photograph and list the items, and often can benefit the person who buys it, because it is still under retail. I make some extra money and usually turn it around to buy coupons or toward an unexpectedly higher OOP...
I know my past post photos spark debate get called a hoarder or a shelf clearer. But since the lose of my job I support my family this way!! It is my job! With that being said of course I don't have a problem with it, I do however get upset when I see people selling them for $1less than the store each when I see a B1G1 coupon. Another thing I do is teach others how to coupon and sell it for what the could buy it that week with the same coupon. If they think I am too far of a drive I say "if you have X coupon from X paper you can get your own at your local CVS, Rite Aid, etc.) Everyone thinks I am crazy but I am thankful for those that helped me get started so I am always willing to help.
Why does anyone care if someone sells their stockpile stuff for a jacked up price? If they choose to sell it for a few cents less than the local store (even though they only paid pennies for it) WHY would this bother anyone? If someone thinks the price is too high they simply won't buy it.
Walmart buys stuff very cheaply and turns around and sells it for a huge markup. If they price it too high, it won't sell. Same goes for the stopckpile seller--too high and the product won't move. | <urn:uuid:2a9540aa-2a5f-4890-b268-d0dd845a3435> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a38038774/selling_things_you_got_for_free?cpg=2&csi=2402329660&pd=1 | 2013-05-18T06:56:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978696 | 932 |
He could've filed a lawsuit; the pool was under the obligation to put up signs that repairs were in progress. Now that the man was able to climb up they are on notice. Hopefully they used this as a lesson to use better signs.
Like if you think this is made up bullshit. Where was god when the guy who drained the pool forgot to make it safe. Plus idiots who go swimming in the dark alone. I think they have an name for that. It's called natural selection. | <urn:uuid:2908b22a-470e-4866-a386-2c52307b3828> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a38186200/_about_god_maybe_trigger_about_faith_not_saying_it_is_real_o | 2013-05-18T05:31:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.994713 | 101 |
lol it's gonna take effort to remember what HIPPO stands for with this baby brain. It went wrong somewhere... I was saying that I was interested in being a bandit. Me admitting that I do not dislike the bandits lol. I just then said I made the choice to be a unicorn, but I guess I misunderstood what a unicorn was. Then it turns into people bashing unicorns... when I wasn't even bashing bandits lol. It was just too much to handle. & btw you're not a bitch. After more thinking... my choice I guess not to be a bandit is that I am terrible at being witty on the spot & have a hard time defending what I say (most of the time). Therefore I often keep my mouth shut or else I risk looking like an idiot..
WJacquely, don't worry! I think we've all had foot in mouth moments on the board, or misrepresented ourselves...I was definitely a unicorn in my early days and am really embarassed to have been on the "can't we all just get along" bandwagon more than once. I've definitely taken time off here and there hoping that when I came back nobody would remember this or that Luckily, most of these ladies are actually very forgiving and don't hold grudges! Most of these ladies...
We had YUMMY pork, sauerkraut, kielbasa and mashed potatoes with a salad and fresh bread for dinner.
I love to cook but my mom has been spoiling me this last month cooking for me and tonight's dinner was all her.
Oh, and pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream for dessert.
Yep, I'm a fattie tonight. | <urn:uuid:6e910fb0-2cab-4634-ba7c-967e7b4b687f> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a38893759/im_a_good_mama?cpg=21&csi=2406147857&pd=7 | 2013-05-18T05:31:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977456 | 350 |
I would say GF no. Wife yes. My BD has a GF. She has come to his court dates to support him (same as my BF) but does not help him make decisions. BD and I decide what schedule works best for us. My SO and his SO then step in and support us and DS as we execute what BD and I agreed together.
I would suggest that you have no problem with her being there to support him. That since they have a lot of the time with the children that she has a right to input. But that as the biological parents then you all need the final say so. She needs to be respectful of you as their BM. You need to be respectful of her and her place as STBX's new woman. Treat them as a pair when it comes to what days are good for them. Treat them as a pair and assume she will be providing care for the children while they are there. Treat them as a pair about all manners pertaining to his house and his house alone. Politely overrule her if she's trying to dictate something that goes above and beyond her own home. She's part of the package deal of "over there".
We run our stuff by: my house = me and SO's rules. SO is a huge active part of both me and DS's lives. SO and I together make the day to day decisions while DS is home with us.
BD's house = he and his SO make the rules. They govern the day to day activity and rules while at SO's house.
But things like school, medical, etc etc (for right now at least) BD and make those decisions jointly and leave the other 2 parties out of it. Same with CS, which amount of time each of us gets with DS (the days we took into account our SO's schedules too). I'm not even sure if all of that makes sense. | <urn:uuid:f748b14c-e31d-4c58-9a17-b8ff6fef3bf0> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a39020908/_update_page_10_parenting_plan_and_step_parents_v_bio_crossp?cpg=2&csi=2406710466&pd=1 | 2013-05-18T05:29:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991294 | 387 |
My LO has been sick all week & is currently working on 5 new teeth.
A little background: (He threw up Tuesday. Doctor Wednesday morning—she said just looked like a stomach bug. Then spiked a fever later that afternoon. Thursday he stayed home from daycare just to be safe and was happy as can be. Friday his daycare center called me because his hands were blue when he woke up from his nap. I took him back to the Pediatrician and she said his breathing was labored which could have caused the blue-ness. But he had 95% oxygen levels. They gave him medicine to help with his breathing.)
He has been inconsolable today. Even when he is held he bawls. He took two short, restless naps & took over and hour to get to sleep tonight. We are switching off between Tylenol and Motrin. Using teething tablets and orajel. I’m thinking it could be the flu and he is just miserable and doesn’t have the words to tell us.
Any ideas on what I could do to make him more comfortable or any remedies I could try? I am at a loss. We tried to make him happy/comfortable all day with no success. I feel so bad for him & I am beyond exhausted. | <urn:uuid:ee722e4e-47b1-4bbb-ad4e-43cfed3b0a31> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.babycenter.com/post/a39361906/inconsolable | 2013-05-18T06:58:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.99503 | 276 |

Grrrrr! Well, thanks for the info ponce, but I don't see why Europe has to wait AGAIN, Media Molecule are based right here in England for christ sake!
But the game is being made by UFG and SDS, which are in NA. Europe got the LBP betas before NA because MM is in the UK. Hope you guys get in first wave of the EU invites.
And the game isn't like one of those global movies released in the same date.
Pretty much explained here.

Well I'm ***** right now. Fences, road styles and bridges are pre-made, you only have 8 textures per theme... Total bs.
This is just MNR with a coat of paint for the masses.
In LBP the theme is simply the BG. Nothing more. It shouldn't dictate what I can and can't place.

| NAA mediaXchange is the largest annual gathering of industry executives in North America, offering unprecedented networking opportunities that combine an exchange of information and ideas with programming designed to generate results. The conference is designed to provide valuable ideas and insights to help newspaper professionals grow audience and revenue for their print and digital products. Sessions highlight leading-edge thinking about media strategies, successes in product and revenue development, new ideas and innovation inside and outside the industry, and tactics and techniques to employ in print and digital.
Revenue, Advertisers, Revenue, Advertisers
Budget dollars are precious for all of us these days. Making certain that NAA’s annual mediaXchange conference is worth your investment is obviously key for all of us planning the event. As this year’s Orlando event comes together, you should know that it is looking better than ever.
If you haven’t decided on coming, or need to sell someone on approval, consider these points:
Advertisers: We will have in excess of two dozen advertisers represented at this year’s event. There is no more cost-efficient way to see your customers than this annual event. They are travelling to Orlando to see you. There will be unique opportunities for you to engage with these customers:
Staples, Inc., Centro, Walgreens, Best Buy, Tires Plus, Home Depot, RadioShack, Kohls, Target, BonTon Stores, ACG- representing JCPenney, Sports Authority, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Michaels and PETCO, EPMG, Carat, NSA media, Horizon Media, Valassis, Novus, TJX Companies, Vertis Communications, Macy's, NewsAmerica, JCPenney, Meijer and more to come...
Roundtables: The most popular feature of the NAA conference for years is the Advertiser Roundtables session, scheduled for two hours on Wednesday afternoon. We plan on four rotations of 30-minute sessions, allowing you ample opportunity to see customers.
Private meeting rooms: NAA has supplied advertisers with private, registered attendee-only rooms for you and your advertisers to schedule and meet. Gone are the uncomfortable coffee shop meetings. Make appointments with your advertisers now. Typically, these are 30 minute sessions. Many advertisers are bringing up to seven people, yet these rooms will be busy. Do remember that you must be registered to get in.
Power Dinners: On Tuesday night, NAA has moved this member favorite event to mediaXchange. As always, Power Dinners are fun and informative. There will be 20 tables of customers at dinner at the Orlando Hilton. Each table will have a guest of honor advertiser for you to meet and socialize with. After each course of the meal, the guest will move to a new table. You’ll get to know several customers better. The newspapers at each table are obviously restricted, so sign up early. When you have registered for the conference you can sign up to participate.
Sessions: Aided by a terrific planning committee of your peers, NAA has a stellar group of sessions that address the topics you want explored. We guarantee you will get ideas that you can implement when you get home that more than pay for your attendance. For example:
Small Business Revenue Development -The key to growing our business will be to tap into new revenue from smaller accounts, and the key to growing those accounts is having the appropriate products and a relatively low cost of acquisition. This session looks at ways newspapers are successfully doing both.
Building Marketplaces to Drive Revenue - This session will offer a variety of new scalable, sustainable programs for enhancing existing marketplaces (formerly known as “classified”) and creating new ones resulting in meaningful revenue for newspapers.
Social Media: Making Money At It - There is no hotter topic in the media world these days than Social Media, but how do media companies make money in it? Social media experts inside and outside the industry will share their strategies for monetizing these emerging platforms.
Preprints: Maintaining and Growing the Franchise - Many newspaper executives believe that preprints, which comprise nearly half of retail ad expenditures, are at risk. This session will explore new, scalable print and online solutions that will provide increased ROI for advertisers and recommendations for how your newspaper can take advantage of these new opportunities.
Digital Revenue Ideas Session - This session will present at least a dozen interesting, innovative, digitally-based programs that are producing real revenue for newspapers, You will leave this session with new ideas you can implement in your own market.
Mobile Marketing: Beyond the Banner Ad - Mobile marketing is the next frontier and holds great opportunities for newspapers. This session will feature successful strategies for growing revenue with new tools, apps and mobile marketing campaigns that are integrated to grow both print and online revenue.
E-Readers and E-Revenue - Technologically, e-readers have come a long way in the past year. But the business model for newspapers that put content on the devices has a long way to go. Learn about the current state of e-reader revenue, advertisements and more from experts working in this new area.
And those are just the break-out sessions!
General Sessions: Multiple sessions will have relevance to those of us who drive revenue this year.
Monday’s keynote speaker Rashid Tobaccowala, CEO of Denuo, is one of the agency world’s most visionary executives. He understands what is, what’s coming and how revenue streams come from the latest innovations, not to mention, where we fit in. Do not miss this session.
Jeff Hayzlet, CMO of Kodak is one of the nation’s most sought after speakers. There is no better success story than that of Jeff transforming an old brand into a progressive one. Jeff is one of the most dynamic speakers you’ll ever hear and he is looking at how Kodak can help newspapers. Do not miss this Tuesday keynote session.
If you think that agency panels typically berate us for what we are not doing, this session will be refreshing. Our Wednesday general session will feature former newspaper executive and present Novus President Dave Murphy. With experience on both sides of the table, Dave is bringing a variety of Omnicom companies to the session to talk about how we can all win together.
And there's the networking — you'll find others whose have found successful solutions after facing similar challenges to you. Not only will you be able to benefit from their experiences and expertise now, but you can build lasting relationships for sharing in the future.
Registration is open for mediaXchange 2010, April 11-14, in Orlando.
Go to NAA’s mediaXchange site and select the most compelling programs for you so you can quickly make your own list of reasons, excluding the weather, why your newspaper needs to be represented in Orlando. Register early and make this an even better investment. Early bird registration will save you $100.00
Thank you for your support,

July & August Update
Summer Transfer Window Update
Im happy with my transfer dealings I feel we have a squad capable of staying up. I still need a right back, we have made a good start to season 4 points from 9
Nice - screenshots of your two big signings, both attributes and career, would be great! If its not too much to ask
they are posted on the previous page mate
Very much enjoying your career. Keep it up!
Looking over the history of the premier league since this save started the highest points total anyone has been relegated with is 38. so my target is to get to 40.
Lets hope you get to the magic 40 quick and you get more to push on
400 game mark,
Whilst at Rimini earlier in my save I had a Youth prospect who i made captain at 16 years of age,
Since then he has gone on to play in the champions league with Benfica.
Novelli @ Rimini
Novelli Career so far
Its nice to see a player who I thought at potential in the bottom division of Italy has made it to the top.
Some nice signings there.
I had a 20+ year career managing Bristol City on FM11, loved it!
Good luck for the season ahead
November and December update
Results have gone against us in this busy period and we have now slid down the table.
So as a result I have moved on a few players
and brought in a few to strengthen the team
I finally got a Right back that I've needed, Also brought in another Centre back which I broke the club record transfer for as Caulker needed a better partner and Centre midfielder Camucho was an experienced free signing and 2 Strikers as mine arent scoring enough.
Hopefully results will start to pick up again with the freshing of the squad
Looks like very good investment.
Still plenty of time left to dig yourself out the relegation zone. Its not like your well adrift either.
Doeseb has been a great signing so far update coming later
Transfers in the players
The right back i have needed, Massive potential
Young striker was top scorer in championship by january so i took a gamble he could do it at this level
Bristol Citys biggest transfer ever! Hardly played at liverpool but looks solid and I needed another centre back who was prem standard to partner Caulker
Had my scouts raving and turnt chelsea down for me, Hoping he can fire us to safety!
Further Transfer News
Sold another player
Bought him on a free in a summer and hasnt made the grade. Made a profit though
Brought two more in
My two backup keepers are nowhere near prem standard so I brought him in and started him every game since and hes keeping Bransecu out with fine performances
I needed a back up for alex chamberlain as he has played every game and needs a rest.
I like Albanesi and Doeseb .
As you can see Doeseb has started brilliantly with 7 goals in 5 games and is already my top scorer for the season. The new players have strengthen the squad, Vissing has been a rock in goal, Oliveria and Albansei have gone into the back 4 with Caulker and Muric and it seems tighter and Doeseb has been a star already I hope he keeps it up. Milesi and Kelly has both become squad players. Ive spent alot of money this season but on young players so I hope we stay up and the players progress so we dont need to spend much more
I see Leicester is gonna break the record for lowest points in EPL season.
looks that way, Forest arent doing much better
He looks a beast.
Great read so far, you've started off well in the Premier League
Two International Jobs Turnt down
Got too big of a relegation battle to focus on
Feb 2021 Review
As you can see Doeseb didnt score as much this month which resulted in 3 losses, Kelly and Nielsen popped up with 1 each but I dont seem to have another striker who scores a handful if Doeseb doesnt
Top Scorers so Far & their Apperances
Another 2 defeats but we are on 31 points, I think 9 points will secure our safety
You should survive comfortably mate!
Doeseb out for 3 weeks
Future transfer agreed for a striker to partner Doeseb next season. Made his england debut this year scored 3 in 4 internationals
Don't really rate him that much myself, I prefer more technical ability, even if its generally.
ENGLISH!ENGLISH! He must have foreign descent !
April 2021 Update
Safety is secured! Which was the aim, 4 games remain just gotta see if we can move any higher now for abit of money. Looking towards next season now. We Spent alot of money this season so not expecting much movement in the summer we need a striker and a back up centre back and back up right back and that will be business done unless we find a diamond. The striker is already tied up so happy with that
Well done on survival.
Really well done on pulling away from the drop zone, you made some really good signings there.
Hopefully you can kick on now next season.
January transfer signing Chris Milesi hasnt made the grade so I needed another Right midfielder to challenge Chamberlain so I swooped for Polish Right winger Leszek Sikora for £2million.
Trying to get all my transfers done nice and early. Movements made for two other players ill bring the news to you if confirmed.
Oscar Devereux Signs from West Ham United
Another Striker will be joining us in the summer
We should now have the strikeforce to score us the goals to move us up the league.
Devereux will join Doeseb, Nielsen, Kelly and Cheng.
A lot better signings.
May Results & Final League Table
What a great end to the season with 3 wins from 4 and by beating chelsea last game of the season we cost them the title and Arsenal won it by 2 points. 11th place finish aswell Wow we were in bottom 3 at midway!, Chuffed with this season, Full season review coming soon
Needed a 3rd choice Centre Back
Manager of the year award
3rd place for me sensational news
Another decent player coming.
Good season mate. You have some cracking players joining you to.
Transfers so far this summer
Nice to see you easily survive your first season in the Prem with Bristol City
Well done on a great season at Bristol City.
Is Cheng Chun Yin half Taiwanese?
I Know i said nothing else would be coming in but West brom paid the £5.5million needed to meet Sean Murray's Minimum Release fee so I needed a replacement and I tried to sign Bocias last summer but he rejected me so I tried again and he signed for £5million. I think he looks a better player and i made £500k from the two deals.
Great finish, and a great win against Man City. Good luck for next season.
Accepted my first international job, hope it goes ok
Nice little job. Good luck with the Aussies .
Congrats on taking over the Aussies, good job that one.
Some good signings there, good luck down under.
August 2021 Update
Great start to the season 4 games 4 wins and Cheng has started on fire.
Lets hope we can continue this way
Summer Transfer Window Closed
I made a post a while back about my 17year old captain from Rimini who was now playing champions league football at benfica, he was transfer listed so I swooped in for him and he stated he was joining because of me
We didnt need much, just about of quality, signed 2 strikers to give us a quality strike force, a Right midfielder to challenge Chamberlain, then the rest was about adding depth until Novelli became available then I added him too. I would love to get into europa or win carling cup
Bit of movement there, lets hope it works out
You paid how much for Cheng!!!!
It was alot BUT hes scored 5 in first 4 games
Another good month in the league, we let in a 89" goal against west ham which was a bit of a kick in the nuts but we are still unbeaten which if we are honest is way better than expected, knocked out by Man Utd in the cup (expected) And my 100th Bristol City game ended with 3 points. First Venture into international management 3 games 3 losses but all against bigger countries in the world of football. Already qualified for the world cup so just got to wait for that to come around.

Going well to celebrate the milestone.
Pretty harsh defeats internationally, would have though you'd have got more against Denmark especially being at home.
Just noticed i forgot to add scorers for sept and oct so here they are
Nice start to the season.
Stood down because i wasnt getting any results and I wasnt enjoying it, plus was taking too much attention away from city
That's what usually happenes to me when I have two jobs. Managing a club is way more interesting.
Don't blame you for standing down, I don't find it easy to enjoy international management at all.
It can drag things on a little bit.
November & December 2021 Update
Starting to have dreams about Europe?
Europa maybe not champions league
Both still in Europe
You can still do CL qualification.
Last january I signed Dennis Vissing as back up keeper for 975k, He ended up playing most of the games for the rest of the season but this season hes second choice again so when Reggina came in with a £8.5m bid I was happy to let him go, a massive profit of just over 7.5m
I quickly swooped for experienced back up goalkeeper for £900k
Fantastic season so far with some great results!
Good deal on Vissing.
You'll be glad he's 35, his name certainly is a mouth full. (and no, that's not what she said)
Keep it up. Champions League football is possible!
January 2022 Update
Transfer Window Update
Media Reports suggested Juventus were about to make a £32m bid for Bransecu so when i saw Butland was transfer listed I swooped for him fast, but the bid never came so I have 2 quality keepers. two loan signings are full back cover and the Signing of Sloth is for the future hes a 16 year old Dm
Matthews asked for contract termination so i agreed that, Vissing was a great deal for the club we got two replacements for cheaper, Morrice and Gueye have struggled to break into 1st team so iv let them go out on loan and da silva had 6 months left on his deal and was nowhere near 1st team so i sold him.
Another strong month its getting mental now We are overachieving so much
Even if we slip up and finish 10th its been a great season
Still close but you've had an amazing first half of the season.
yeah, 3 defeats and im 9th
Doing great with city, hopefully you can keep up the good form.
fingers crossed mate, going for the fa cup too
Deal tied up for summer
Reinforce our central defence, Albanesi and Caulker are my main two but beyond that I have nothing so Marcao will make us stronger
Feb 2022 Update
Just ticking along keeping up the pace, starting to dream of champions league football and a return to European competition for me for the first time in 4 years
Well done challenging at the top, a huge difference from your earlier years.

Bees are vital for pollination. You can buy leafcutter bee houses to attract the bees to your garden. The leaf-cutter bees are solitary and unlike honey bees do not swarm like honey bees so they are little or no danger to humans or pets.
Bees are vital for pollination.
You can buy leafcutter bee houses to attract the bees to your garden.
Leafcutter bee house. Leaf cutter bees like hollow tubes and bamboo are ideal. They also excavate tunnels in flower pots where light gritty compost is used.
The female has used the circular cuts to seal off the ends of the chamber, whereas the longer cuts are wrapped around the sides. The adult bee will provision the chamber with pollen and lay an egg. The larva feeds of the pollen.
The female larva are the first to be layed and are deepest in the line. This means that if the nest is predated by a woodpecker, the feamles have a better chance of avoiding being eaten. The male larva is nearst the exit and will be the first to be eaten.
Although this larva will probably die, I carefully replaced the bamboo and sealed it with wax to keep the chambers intact and dry.

Music Composers Unite!
This is a short solo for clarinet. In it, I freely selected the pitches/rhythm of the opening line then tried to loosely base the remainder on those intervals/rhythms. I hoped to achieve a measure of cohesion with repetition of certain motifs. I attempted to use the great range of the clarinet to add tension and contrast by alternating between lower and upper registers in some parts. | <urn:uuid:fd333071-f647-445c-bda1-c161d79a6fd4> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://composersforum.ning.com/forum/topics/solo-for-clarinet?page=1&commentId=773368%3AComment%3A277680&x=1 | 2013-05-18T08:11:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.922029 | 88 |

24-Sep-2006 -- After hearing about the Degree Confluence Project I did some research on the northern territory of Australia and discovered there is a confluence situated “near” an area I frequently spend time in the dry season. A friend of mine runs a hunting safari business NW of the Confluence and during the hunting season,(May to October) I help when he has larger groups of clients booked.
After doing some exploratory trips with the GPS to establish the location of 12 degrees South in relation to the access tracks used to get from camp to various areas of the hunting concession, I discovered that the main access track, which is 60 klm in length and depending on the time of year and amount of water in the various creek crossings and lower lying sections, can take anything up to18 hours to travel, crosses 12 deg south 10 klm to the West of 133 deg East. This was the closest point to the confluence that any of the access tracks could get me, so as a result I had no option but to start the trip to the confluence from here.
I spent the next couple of years doing nothing more than research on the confluence this was mostly spent studying maps of various scales trying to establish the type of terrain I would encounter on the trip to the confluence, most of which would be through dense scrub with a couple of creek crossings and some large sandstone outcrops and at least one large open area of thin vegetation, none of this seemed too much of an obstacle to warrant research into an alternative route, although the confluence could be approached from the West, using the main road to Coguburg peninsula as a starting point.
Prior to the trip to the confluence I had been out bush for about 6 weeks assisting with the day to day running of the camp and had decided that this presented the best opportunity to do the visit, after discussing my plans with a senior traditional owner who had some knowledge of the area I set myself a date and started making plans for what I was sure would be a successful visit to the confluence. All the travelling between camp and hunting areas is done using 4x4 quad bikes (ATV’s) one of which I had been using on a daily basis and was set up with my GPS mounted to the handle bars, this is not used when out hunting but it’s a great game we play while out in the field having lunch to see which of the clients can guess the distance from and direction to camp.
The night before I planned to do the visit I prepped the bike for a trip into unknown territory, checking things like puncture repair materials, tools, re-filling the onboard water tank, filling the bike with fuel, checking oil levels and tyre pressures. I was leaving nothing to chance so I also strapped on some extra fuel and another water bottle as well as packing my rifle and some ammunition. Make no mistake, Arnhemland covers a huge area, and is for the most part uninhabited. I was planning to do this trip when I was the only person out at camp and a very long way from help if required.
D-day started with a light breakfast and packing the last few items onto the bike, lunch, camera etc, I left camp at around 7:30am and as always, with early departures from camp, was no sooner up to cruising speed than I was shivering in the early morning light mist hovering just above the ground, I knew this wouldn’t last long once the suns rays broke through the trees ,the daytime temperatures had been rising in the last week to the mid 30’s centigrade and as always when at ground level far from the coast in thick vegetation it doesn’t take long to warm up. About 20 minutes after leaving camp I stopped to turn on the GPS and started travelling at what would be my average speed for the next couple of hours, about 3kmh, once I had reached 12 degrees South I turned sharp left off the track and started my journey into the unknown, this started with an extremely thick section of Acacia, which was difficult to negotiate but not entirely impossible and I certainly wasn’t about to give up this early in the trip, once through the Acacia there was a slight down hill run to the first of the days creek crossings ,the only one to have running water too, then once across the bush changed again into what would become the type of vegetation encountered on most of the trip, large Gum trees, tall grass, both large and small termite mounds and numerous fallen branches. Usually by this time of year much of this type of vegetation has been cleared by fire, enabling a good view of what obstacles are likely to be encountered, unfortunately for me this was not the case limiting my view of what obstacles lay in the grass and only allowing about a 10 metre field of view.
The next obstacle encountered was a large sandstone out crop and at this stage I was still trying to travel in as straight a line as possible to the confluence, unfortunately after searching for an easy way through this obstacle I was left with no choice but to backtrack and travel around the outer edge of this large rock formation, after doing so I realised this was the sensible choice as the rocks ended abruptly and with about a 10 metre shear drop. There are a lot of things quad bikes can do but soft landings aren’t one of them. travelling East towards the confluence through a couple of dry sandy creeks and more of the same vegetation as before it wasn’t long before another rock formation loomed in the distance, this time there was a clear path through ,almost exactly on 12 degrees South, at this stage I had only about 2.5 klm left to travel.
After about another 1.5 klm travel through, what would in the wet season be, a table top swamp my journey on foot would begin, this was due to the fact that a large dry creek presented too large an obstacle to even attempt this far from where I had set off from about two hours earlier. I parked the bike in the shade and headed off on foot towards the confluence, the creek that had halted my progress was lined on both sides by sheer sandy banks of about 5 meters in height, on the other side of which was the back of yet another rock formation, so travelling on foot was the easiest and obvious choice.
12 S,133 E lies on top of a large sandstone escarpment much of which has been eroded by the forces of nature over time leaving various features in the rock from small holes to caves to large crevasses all of these had to be negotiated in the last few hundred meters from my final destination, all was going well until I was about 50 meters away from the confluence when my path was split be a large crevasse which was too large to jump across or simply step over as I had done previously, I had no choice but to walk 200m along one side until an opportunity to cross became available, then travel back along the other side and locate the confluence. Once I had found the exact spot there was little else to do but take the obligatory photos and enjoy the scenery.
The return journey to the bike was interrupted by me startling a pair of grey kangaroos, I’m still not sure who got the bigger fright, after returning to the bike and re-hydrating I decided that the dry creek bed presented too much of a temptation to ignore ,so I loaded my rifle and re-filled my water bottles and set off on a solo hunt. I will not go into details for the benefit of those who don’t share my passion, but having said that, midday walking a dry creek bed alone in the middle of nowhere knowing that the animals you may encounter could provide a once in a life time trophy opportunity is too good to ignore .After a tyring but successful hunt I returned to the bike to have lunch and ensure all was in order for the return journey to camp, stopping briefly at the last creek crossing for a refreshing swim, then it was back onto the main access track and an easy ride to camp where I knew there was a nice cold celebratory beer waiting | <urn:uuid:d31d70d2-21b9-4174-b9ca-9479e53b7fb7> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://confluence.org/confluence.php?lat=-12&lon=133 | 2013-05-18T06:57:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979338 | 1,686 |
20-Dec-2011 -- On my return trip from Tifariti to Nouakchott I decided to visit some confluence points in the remote north-east of Mauritania. I was traveling alone in my 4-WD truck. This continues the visit to 25N 10W.
The approach to the point 24N 10W is easy by off-road driving. The sorrounding terrain is totaly flat desert. Mostly sand.
Continued at 24N 11W. | <urn:uuid:70f75c44-2249-4199-95f3-20c4d54e380e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://confluence.org/confluence.php?visitid=18179 | 2013-05-18T08:11:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940739 | 100 |
Spooky is the seventh chapter in Conker's Bad Fur Day and Conker: Live & Reloaded with the previous chapter Uga Buga and It's War succeeding it. It is a horror themed world, complete with an old mansion (which happens to be the lair of Count Batula) and a graveyard. In Conker: Live and Reloaded, Conker's costume is changed to resemble that of Van Helsing. Once Conker gets the Shotgun from Gregg, it replaces his Frying Pan/Baseball Bat for the rest of the chapter. Spooky is true to its name, and is considered the most frightening chapter of the game.
In Conker's Bad Fur Day, the area where Gregg is appears as an open rock-walled landscape with a river flowing through the area. However, in Conker: Live & Reloaded, the area was changed to look like a town. Two places called "The Slaughtered Lamb" and "Coffins R Us" are in the area, with a few lamposts and dolls here and there. This village could possibly be the one from which the villagers originate.
"The Slaughtered Lamb" is a reference to the black comedy horror, 'An American Werewolf in London.'
In Conker: Live & Reloaded, the river was changed to look like blood. However, with closer inspection, one can realize that the river is just regular water with a few things done to it to make it appear like blood. A glitch can be used in both versions to escape Spooky without Mr. Barrel.
Conker walks through a tunnel which becomes caved in, blocking off his way home. He then proceeds forward to a lake (a village in L&R) where Gregg the Grim Reaper is, he then gives Conker a shotgun and information of an old ancestor after he opens up the graveyard gates by pulling a lever in the tunnel. Conker must now shoot the zombies through their heads until enough are dead for Gregg to appear, he opens the gate leading to the mansion, Conker then scales the narrow bendy pathway until he enters the spooky mansion.
Conker meets his ancestor Count Batula, who gives him a tour of the mansion. He then turns Conker into a bat after a band of villagers breaks the door and invades the estate, and Conker must bring enough villagers and toss them in the grinder for Count Batula to become fat and fall off his perch. When he dies, Conker is restored to his former self. However, many zombies rise from the grave and infest the estate.
Zombies have risen around the mansion and slowly creep around, Conker must escape by grabbing three keys around parts of the mansion and placing them in the locked door. They are found in the dining room, the center of the hedged courtyard, and the grinder area. After Conker has opened the door, he finds Mr. Barrel near the stairway. | <urn:uuid:8d952a32-bf1d-4cec-af19-874cd553ff8e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://conker.wikia.com/wiki/Spooky | 2013-05-18T06:25:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962452 | 600 |

Seeking "forgiveness and reconciliation"??? Naw, they "BLEW" it when they did what they did. Their ways show through their supposed Christianity. Surly it will take years for them to "LIVE" this down. But keep in mind this could happen the "Other Way Around" also. An associate and I were in a South Mississippi Black Church, contracted to Fix their Organ. One guy didn't like us being there at all and it showed through him like a NEON SIGN!
Hey 'roo'....you think your going to be the ONLY ONE? Uh....WRONG! But have no doubt there R those that would like to see this Nation disarmed...for sure. You sound like one of them...
The victim needs a refresher Combat Arms Course at the Range in Pas Christian. But...this is a Win Win situation for the Armed Citizen. It's a shame America has "COME BACK" to this state of being, having to arm one's self...
And the dude is waiting for a BOND HEARING? Hell...NO BOND YOUR YOU! ROT!
Other than Carl, I don't any of you showing any kind of Remorse over this young one's life being lost. Shame on ya...
This family is in CHAOS right now and I know their pain as I lost my 17 year old daughter in 1990. There are NO WORDS to describe their lost or pain...and I am sorry for them. May GOD give them the power to get through this accident and loss of their son.
We live within a 1/4 Mile from the Bayou. It's time has come. Although we live on the Ocean Springs/Jackson side and not within Gautier.
There's really "nothing" out here except the "Rip-off" Clark Store, the New Jackson Country Park/Splash Pad, the Fire Departments and the Boat Ramp. Oh...got to give everyone their "DUE"! We have pretty fine roads.
I think we could use a Pier that's better suited for Mr. John Q. Citizen to fish off of. You can't count the one at the Ramp. Not saying you can't catch a Hard Head or Croaker. On occasion you can do enough for Supper. Rarely.
We need a GOOD PIER. NOT FANCY! A FISHING PIER! One that's not 3-4 Ft. Deep around it or LESS. One that's long enough. That's all I'm asking for. That's a big enough request. They aren't cheap.
Well...We got lucky & connected. But I don't see anyone else out in Ocean Beach Estates getting connected. Drive around. All the Ball Valves are in front of houses disconnected??? Where's all that funding that was supposed to be there for everyone. Now I also understand TESTI is in charge of this connection activity and it's $2,500.00 per home. Hmmm... Last time I heard, there was only a few connected out here.
Your Posting is really rather "NICE" concerning the current Administration. You are correct in everything you say. If Americans only "REALLY" knew what is the driving force behind the current "ENTIRE" present Government, It might really scare the hell out of you.
Americans have a chance this November. On the "Other" hand, DO WE? The Electorial College SUX. There are two many Loop Holes in our Elections. Recently there was an article either on here, WLOX, Sun Herald or Yahoo saying that our Election Results are tabulated by a Company located in Spain. WHY?
I stand for God and Country. If your prone to work the Oil Fields and wish to live with your buddy...no sweat from me. It's just not a relationship I desire and I don't want my kids exposed to that until they can make a knowledgeable decision. So...again I agree with the other commenter.
I am also Disappointed...but NOT SHOCKED. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Vancleave Residents aren't going to like my comments...I'm sure. But the fact is, Vancleave has a LARGE HISTORY of BOOTLEGGING. You "still" hear about the Law finding one or two Stills from time to time. I know people here that told me back in the Seventies ('70's) to be sure NOT to hunt around Vancleave unless you really knew the Land Owner REALLY WELL...just due to the fact you may get your butt shot off if you walk up on a project.
I don't see where Vancleave see themselves as so "Wholesome" that this couple are denied the advantage of owning/operating a Beer Distillery on their OWN PROPERTY. I read in the Article whereas someone spoke out about their concerns of BEER CONSUMPTION? Hell...give me a break! This isn't a BAR.
I am impressed that these people have $500,000.00 to invest in their business and HIRE LOCAL Residents.
I also lament the disapproval of Jackson County concerning the Jackson County Indian Tribe being disallowed to build their Casino. Why? Because the Good People of Jackson County are so Pure and Sanctified that they couldn't allow something this EVIL? I wonder how many Jackson County Residents travel to Harrison County to PULL the ONE ARMED BANDIT or go to a Casino for the Buffet? And I know you'all don't DRINK a Beer...huh>? Yeah...RIGHT!
13-14 years ago, my ex-wife worked for SRH @ Ocean Springs Hosp. What will not be made Public is the that it's been known for more than a decade that Cancer is a HIGH RISK DISEASE in Jackson and Harrison Counties. For the Companies listed in above article, many more are NOT LISTED that continue to operate and Pollute our Environment. This info CAME from OSH...related down channel to staff...in unofficial means. She often came home and discussed things like having out Well Water tested often. Testing for Radon.
You take a chance living here. I will also add that this is very Interesting to me as I have been "HIT" with more Medical Problems since Katrina than ever in my whole life. I usually considered myself to me in Good Health. Now I have multiple health problems and have a Pharmacy here.
I for one am a Follower of this idea and EVERY DAMN Charter Boat Captain is also, I BET!
There was a day in time when people appreciated the Feds Guidance. I don't think this "rings" true any longer, especially in the area of Species Seasons. They just don't know. Most recreational fishermen don't have the capability to get where Snappers are anyway. You've got to have a boat that can get "OUT" there where they are. And it's NOT always nice conditions and things can "GO" South quickly.
I agree and would rather put my trust for this endeavor in the hands of say...The Gulf Coast Research Lab in Ocean Springs...to Represent Mississippi!
Theft is at a high point in Jackson County. It seems that a bunch of them get the slammer and another groups pops-up in their place. Especially Ocean Beach Estates/St. Andrews areas. Even Gated Divisions are being hit.
I got hit last week for a Fuel Tank and Boat Battery. Two days later my neighbor finds his 25H.P. Johnson stolen. Months before that, his Silverado was stolen out of his Driveway.
Video cameras are the way to go. Especially the Wireless one's. Not all cameras are created equal. If you go this route, do your homework making sure the suspect(s) can be identified within a reasonable Radius.
With most Insurance Deductibles being around 1K, it makes sense that this is a good purchase. You've just increased your chances ten-fold of MAYBE getting your Property back and a possible conviction of the suspects. Seeing that cameras are installed may also prevent the incident altogether...and or possible physical Harm to you & Family.
Food for thought people....
I understand the charges against these people. What I don't get is the "Unregistered" Firearm law they are being charged with.
Now...I am not a complete idiot and did 12-13 years in Law Enforcement. As far as I know, we don't have a Gun Registering Program in this Country. None of my Weapons, Long Guns and Handguns are "Registered" as far as I know! That the hell is this? Is it an "EXTRA" "CATCH-ALL" Statuette...like, if the others Statuettes don't "GET" you, this one will???
This is MORE than just a Pity. This type of abuse "STAYS" with young people for years. Some may never be able to "LET" it go. It's a life changing situation.
I've known a Male individual for years, that as a young boy, was assaulted by a Church Volunteer prior to the age of 14. The situation followed him into his late 20's. He trusted NO ONE. He doubted everything in his life, his manhood, his sense of well-being, always looking behind "HIS" Back. He hated himself and especially Gay Men.
He went through Mental Counseling as a Teen. Otherwise, I am trying to make the point that this situation had a controlling Impact on his life.
Money will likely not help this individual with the Mental anguish he is suffering from. I am sorry for him. I PRAY GOD will give him healing and peace.
Amongst other things, we also do Swimming Pools.
I worked a Pool in Gautier after the storm and saved the woman mega bucks. We were filling the pool and she was using two hoses. One was CLEAR as a Bell and the "Other" was Brown. Hmmm...? I commented that her well water looked nasty. She STOPPED! She said no, that's Gautier Water. I couldn't believe it. Have seen that for years now. They got a problem alright. We know people that will not drink or cook with it. My wife wouldn't either.
So...if the well water is "Clean" and clear at the Pump station, its getting the "Brown color" somewhere in between there and your house. Keep in mind this is a pressurized system people. You ARE NOT getting storm drain H2O in your system water.
And I will say that I have gone 'round & 'round with their Water Dept. on behalf of "MY" client during and after filling a pool. They demand a separate meter or used to. And what do gonna do with City Hall? They don't budge...but that has been my experience and their water is high...
I Love my Well.
So...your "Tooling up" 49 and Mama and the kids are hungry. So you see this "PLACE" of business and stop for lunch. During the course of the event, a thug walks up and makes "Remarks" about your wife and YOU get into the discussion and get your Jaw Broken.
So...that's "MY" Fault? And the establishment knows they have had problems in the past. Then even have a Security Guard?...that does NOTHING?
Yep...we're going to Court. Some of you commenters out there are Asses.
This has been needed for a LONG TIME people. Cochran needs to go and be replaced by someone that can do something. I haven't heard anything from his Office since I can remember.
I only speculate that Trent Lott's mysterious departure has ties to his Brother-In-Law Dicky Scruggs. Immediately after he announced his "Step-down", within a short time Scruggs Indictment was announced. But I only speculate.....
We walked the Pier Saturday. Its really nice and it is long. I couldn't begin to tell anyone the amount of the many White Trout My family have caught off the old bridge. I'm not surprised that the Sheeps Head are already there. We talked to those people there on Saturday. They get hungry on cold days.
John....Let's see here a moment what your saying. Your a 24 year retired Military Service Member. Your saying you knew this woman was illegal when you married her? Regardless, you married anyway. You have children. And Anchor babies don't hack it John.
I married mine and she's from the Philippines. She came on a K-1 Visa. I am out of words for you dude. I don't think someone used their "Noodle" on this one...especially you. I think I might have just kept my mouth shut John. Ok, maybe you attempted to do the right thing and the Hat's off for you for that. In your situation, I think your in for a lot of strife.
Just because your the 7th. generation and all that ancestor Military stuff doesn't mean that gives you advanced entitlement to have an expedient rendered service from ICE. The fact remains that she was here in an illegal Status.
Now...I'm NOT your enemy. The enemy is the both of you. You failed to find out the truth prior to Marriage. You knew she wasn't "Papered" to be here. Now your in a quagmire of Legal B.S. that's not going to be over with I predict for a long time. I say you have two choices. Bring her back (Yeah...swim the river again and move elsewhere here in the U.S. and keep the lowest profile you could OR continue doing what you are, move to an area where there is a Ex-Pat community (with running water of course) and live the best you can until you can get this done in a legal way.
Question: Where are "YOUR" children that have resulted being born of this marriage? With her? Heaven forbid if in Mexico. It's a shame that her prior children have to be there.
Now, this being said, I'm not your enemy as stated. And I don't expect you to like this. But in your case I think its the most practical way even if it means doing it wrong again. You have no idea how many non-nationals are living in Jackson County, Ms. and I'm not just talking about Mexicans that are Illegal.
A couple of you Barnacles sound like your a Member of Peta or something. I suppose your as fond of Hunting, also?
I pretty much like the thought of catching a large Black Tip Shark or Tiger Shark. I would really like to try Mako and it's true about the quality of it's flesh for the table. Also true as to how aggressive, intolerant and vindictive it can be. Read some of Hemingway's Literature concerning his experiences off Cuba fishing for Mako Shark.
Now...let's address something here. You take an animal this big...with row after row of serrated teeth and bring him aboard alive. The POWER of ANY Fish this big is awesome and they truly are Tackle Busters, BOAT BUSTERS and wannabe Surgeons. Go ahead. I think in this case, these guys used their heads and gave this big guy an attitude adjustment before inviting him on board. I've fished for Shark since the 80's for FOOD...NOT FINNING nor just for FUN! You got children? HUH? Bring one on-board with kids and let one get marred for life. As for me, I carry a small .410 onboard or for sure a .45 ACP. Now be aware there ARE two legged Sharks amongst us also, just as other unwanted life forms on land.
My son was on another boat in that same area and saw those people out there. He told me the Sharks were so bad that day you were lucky to get your fish to the surface without being pre-eaten by sharks.
Many species have no Urinary Tract, i.e., Bladder, etc. They do urinate through their skin. Their skin is their Urethra. After cleaning a shark as described, it's important to Keep the skinned/filleted meat on ice or salted water and cooled for 24-36 hours. If not, the acidic odor and "after taste" will remain with the flesh. This acid will "gas" out of the meat and make a much better table fare item for grilling, frying or broiling. AND a Gulf Coast Laboratory Biologist told me about this years ago.
So...frittered, please remember that Peta REALLY MEANS "People Eating Tasty Animals".
Unfortunately they, the Low Life, walk amongst us. Drug users have no remorse. I've seen it...lived it with an ex-wife. SCUM she was.

You know the facts? Please share them with the rest of us. We would all love to know how you have access to the personel files, court records and employment history of sheriff deputies. Please tell me its not your sisters, neighbors, friends babysitter.
One thing seems to be clear. At this point no one here knows what the hell their talking about. Including me. I am sure if I tried real hard I could whip up some wild speculation for one side or the other, but I guess I am more of a facts first, comments second kind of guy.
I could agree with this legislation. But when it comes to out tax dollars we should want to know that EVERYONE who gets, spends or are salaried with tax payer money are drug free. We sure don't want those careers being the only options left for the drug users do we? | <urn:uuid:17bc19ef-fefd-45df-a2c9-65fbff62bdb4> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://connect.mlive.com/user/thewarden/index.html | 2013-05-18T07:26:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968176 | 178 |

From this article it seems like rates will go up, no matter who is managing the system. Does the city have the expertise to manage the capital improvements needed to upgrade the water system? I think I would prefer a water authority vs self interested bureacrats. It's a no win situation.
What do you mean where's the problem? Are you blind or ignorant or both!
Cleary some knew they were being taken advantage of... which probably sparked a complaint and a justice department review.
In any case, this is nothing new. Banks and realtors have been denying real estate opportunities to minorities for years.
If you ask for a proposal, you will get one. This is just a wish list that the government asks for every 2-3 decades, so of course the costs will be high. At the end of the day, half these schools won't get a dime or a fraction of what they ask for.
Spending is a misleading factor....poor urban schools tend to require more resources, special ed teachers, meal assistance etc. So while more money is spend on poor underpeforming schools, they still lack many of the things that the average schools have.
How is this a job killer? It's only $50 more per week (if the person is working full time). Secondly, who can live on $7.25/hr. Clearly the Republicans don't care about workers making a liveable wage.
Really, who doesn't have a member in their family fighting an illness lol Good luck kid, you should have went to Rutgers!!!
I can't say I'm a fan of Newark, but the city gets a bad rap. Compare Newark to Baltimore, St. Louis, Cleveland etc. and you'll notice the city is a lot safer.
Here's what I think. There's a lot of bitterness from people who left the city after the race riots. Those folks make Newark sound like a black hole and no one should go there. After hearing so much of this, you wouldn't want to live or go there either. I have an intern who works with me in downtown Newark and her supervisor at Montclair State asked her whether she felt safe coming to Newark. In fact, she the supervisor didn't even want to come to site to do an evaluation.
In any case, look at Harrison, Kearney, Hoboken and Jersey City..... Those cities are getting major redevelopment plans and attracting a lot of young and professional talent who live and work near NYC. Those cities are no safer nor offer any better advantage than Newark. But through these scare tactics, people don't want to come anywhere near the city. I'm not saying Newark is great, but it's nowhere the monster people think it is. And it would be a heck of a lot better if people could get over the past and realize the city is growing and things have changed.
Christie attended Seton Hall law... For any Rutgers student, that explains the reason why he cares less about the University and its law school.
Don't blame Schiano. NFL teams are refusing to let their assistants to interview with other teams. So, coaches like Schiano are pursuing assistants they are familiar with. If Schiano had greater experience at the NFL level, he would have a greater knowledge of the potential assistants out there....but he doesn't. Rutgers can rebuild. No team has ever lost a championship because of an assistant to an assistant.
Don't hold your breath. Don't forget the U.S. made several attempts to assasinate Castro! Cuba didn't want these fools, that's why they tossed them back.
1,500 is the average score for all 3 parts of the SAT's. I think this article is referring to the writing and math.
Wait, are we talking about the same Rutgers? The one where a former president in the mid 90's claimed blacks are genetically inferior. Walk a day in the life of ethnic students and you'll clearly see that minority students are not treated the same way as other students.
Schiano ranks #25 in college football coach's salaries and that's only because a dozen other coach's salaries are not reported. Not that I'm a fan of his, but if his salary was that of the president, Rutgers would be playing at the soccer field and in a lower division.
And why do people always bring up illegal aliens? How many of them are enrolled at 4 year colleges? They can't file for financial aid and would have to pay out of pocket unless they recieve a full scholarship. And if that's the case, why wouldn't a school want the brightest minds on campus. Isn't this the country that imported Einstein, along with Hitlers engineers and scientists? Isn't this the country that imports medical doctors and researchers from asia because there is a net loss of scientific minds in this country. Universities are not engaged in the political bureacracy that the government is engaged in.
He's had a house in NJ since 2005, why wouldn't that make him a resident of that state? Just as someone could have dual nationalities and passports, he should be able to claim both California and NJ as residence. It's not like he owned a beach summer house. He's also worked in NJ over the past 4 years, as a track coach at his high school. Let the voters decide!
Guess what, we would pay more if those same folks are poorly educated, jailed and don't have medical coverage!
Very calclulated... Got to give CC a hand ont his one. Cut out programs or iniatives and claim the state is broke.... then go the federal government and ask for more money. Odly enough, the Republican ideology is to stop spending? The whole state is running off additional government grants to rehire police, firefighters, teachers etc.
Everyone wants to come down on illegal immigrants, what well paying jobs are they holding? And if they are holding any jobs at all, it's the Republican's fault. The Republicans are the ones with this ideology that government is too big, so hey...let's privatize everything. So you have all these companies bidding at low costs to govern what use to be government operations (like trash collecting). So who do you think these contractors are going to hire at minimum wage in order to keep their costs down?
Ok, you don't want to pay $10k for your roof to be repaired, so you find a contractor that will do it for $7k, how do you think they're keeping their costs down?
Oh and you want a cheap nanny, someone to mow your lawn, clean your house, clean your hotel room and not have that cost add up...hmmm.
I'm not advocating for illegals, but the problem is not them...the problem is this nation and every wealthy nation. They bring people in to do menial jobs and work the fields...then they get upset that these folks have the nerve to over stay...and worse yet, get an education....oh even worst get decent jobs....how dare they want to be successful! | <urn:uuid:49eb8e09-ef45-4eef-b54e-b09ce6ab9d85> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://connect.nj.com/user/jean_st.fort/index.html | 2013-05-18T06:30:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977235 | 1,465 |

It's also Measure 5 - there's not enough money for our schools and art and PE get dumped. We don't pay enough for decent public schools.
I concur. Here's a great article to read to learn more about these score-based programs:
Yes abortion sucks, but so does the life of an unwanted child. Bringing a life into the world is really serious and the decision to have an abortion is not black and white.
Planned Parenthood also provides birth control which prevents pregnancy. Getting rid of Planned Parenthood would mean more unwanted children.
The Broad program is ideologically blinkered. Read about the impact of big money from private foundations on public schools here: http://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/?article=3781
I've met Bruun and he is a terrific guy. But congressional Republicans do not let their members vote their conscience. Bruun will be forced to do whatever John Boehner tells him to do.
Yes, is is a quandary and Washington DC is a disease that they all catch sooner or later. But I disagree that people working to legislate can effectively communicate long distance.
It's better we vote them out of office after they catch the disease.

Why was the E-alert system so slow to notify about this? Just received the alert a few minutes ago.
It's quite ironic that McGlone, a person who has harrassed and stalked others (a matter of public record) refuses to divulge her telephone number now that she's a public official. She's unbalanced enough to call citizens who disagree with her AT THEIR HOMES, but those same citizens aren't entitled to contact her? BTW, if you don't want to take cell phone calls at your day job, all you have to do is turn off the ringer. It's not rocket science.
Yea, call the Communications Center because she's probably THERE or at least somewhere very close. And if someone's driving past your house and throws a bottle out of their car, it's likely HER. There's a reason why she wants to "keep her personal life and borough business separate," folks! Although, from what I've been hearing, she's not doing a very good job of THAT either.
This is complete BS. The guy made it up in some lame attempt to gain "sympathy" or some other advantage - or to rationalize his own loathesome actions. He's making claims about "doing anything for his country" because he happens to be a veteran. In reality, he's just a cold-blooded killer. He may not like the current administration, but he very likely made up the stuff about belonging to some mysterious group planning to overthrow the government.
Joey, thanks for hosting the fundraiser for this wonderful family. Hope to see a great turnout at Harper's. Tony is a true hero.
Despite previous horrible experiences there, I went there for dinner last night and I'm so glad I did. The pasta menu is a bit limited because most of it contains seafood, but the pasta dish I ordered was outstanding - as were the eggplant appetizer and simple salad. The only thing still needing improvement is the decor and lousy chairs. I will definitely return, though! Good pasta is hard to find in this area. Waitress said Chef would make plain pasta with marinara sauce upon request, so looking forward to trying that. If the decor and service improve, I'll be spending a lot more time (and money) there!
Mr. Smith is a true leader. He inspires people to be better than they are and is too humble for you to have read much about him in any newspaper. He also was Pennsylvania's first Inspector General.
Couldn't have chosen a better man. This is one Administration decision I agree with wholeheartedly!
Doesn't Dwight Evans' quote reflect his vindictive, short-sighted nature? The fact that he and other lawmakers would threaten to cut funding to an office that enforces elder abuse, consumer protection, and child pornography laws to leverage their personal agenda is a reflection of their true character.
This is disgusting but not too surprising. Have you been to this mall lately? It's really attracting some VERY questionable patrons. I don't like to go there at all anymore. I don't feel safe and there aren't any good stores. The Macy's is as sub-par as the people who hang out there.
Thank goodness Hafer didn't win. Since her days as AG, she has surrounded herself with the most abnormal bunch of folks you could possibly imagine. Sounds like she's chomping at the bit to get back in a power position.
I feel sorry for this man if he is, indeed, a veteran; however, he's an irresponsible pet owner and the HS is doing the right thing by increasing fees for repeat offenders. They aren't pet sitters. And really, "a balance hindering medical condition?" Doesn't he mean alcoholism?
Mr. Weasley, you are aptly named. Any scholorships given based solely on skin color or ethnicity are discriminatory and should be abolished. Period. Most high schools grade on a curve and use all sorts of techniques to offer disadvantaged students a "boost." If some students cannot make it into college based on their grades, perhaps they will learn an important lesson about the value of hard work!
I thought I misread the article. State officials decided to open offices when they've already announced that the Interstates will remain closed? Even if Interstates are open by tomorrow morning, conditions will likely prevent many from making it to work.
In many ways, Unemployment Compensation has become another entitlement program like public welfare. Claimants automatically receive benefits until a prior employer proves them ineligible, but many employers don't have the time or resources to do so. In my opinion, someone (other than the legislature) should review and revise UC regulations and the UC organization itself needs a complete overhaul.
Hbgblacklady, I adamantly disagree! I doubt anyone would equate Bernie Madoff with "good character" or Nelson Mandela with "bad character." I can't speak for other posters, but I can assure you that I believe character and integrity are colorblind. | <urn:uuid:1bffc9bd-8fde-4618-afe3-97233188dfc3> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://connect.pennlive.com/user/starspangle/index.html | 2013-05-18T08:01:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975201 | 1,044 |

There are a few reasons to engage in this type of consumer indulgence. Repeat purchases are smart buys if you find something that fits you perfectly, or if you fall in love with a piece that will transcend trends but perhaps not last forever. Shoes are a good example. Lots of people have bought and rebought their favorite pair of sneakers or their comfiest ballerina flats. While soles can be replaced with the help of a capable cobbler, certain shoe uppers just aren't able to last forever and continue to look great. You can only polish for so long.
Shoes by Theory, Tory Burch, and Marc by Marc Jacobs
Items in multiple colors or colorways will add versatility to an otherwise safe wardrobe. When I develop an ensemble that I really like to wear, changing the color of a component piece enables me to repeat it more often without becoming bored. I have the same cashmere boyfriend cardigans by Cece in six different colors. Over the last few seasons, I picked up my favorite Marc by Marc Jacobs dresses in multiple colorways when they've popped up on sale.
When I found good deals on merino wool Design History cardigans at TJ Maxx, I bought them in three colors. I also do this with tshirts and corduroy pants. The American Apparel deep V in 50/50 blend and the JCrew Matchstick cords come to mind. Staple pieces like these see a lot of wear. They are able to last longer and stay nicer if I have a few in the rotation.
What types of garments, shoes, and accessories have you bought in multiple? | <urn:uuid:738d630c-46ae-4873-8b47-13cb21b01363> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://consumerconsumed.blogspot.com/2009/03/seeing-double-sometimes-triple-so-nice.html | 2013-05-18T05:12:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948993 | 331 |
A branch manager of a Queens, NY mortgage company has been caught opening fake Home Depot accounts using personal information obtained from loan applications and has been charged with grand larceny, says the NYT.
Mr. Milton is an immigrant from Bangladesh who was granted political asylum by the United States who had a cable television program in Queens for fellow immigrants from his homeland, the police said.
He worked for the Griffin Mortgage Company as manager of its branch at 72-32 Broadway, in Jackson Heights, and his sister was his secretary, the police said. The mortgage office was where the first six complainants had divulged personal financial information when they applied for loans, the police said. Many were seeking to become first-time homeowners.
But because the quoted interest rates were too high, the applicants withdrew and looked elsewhere. Some discovered their identities had been stolen when other mortgage companies ran credit checks, the police said.
Some victims also received bills from Home Depot for as much as $30,000 for merchandise they had not ordered or received, the police said.
Milton didn’t stop there, he’s also accused of mortgage fraud. The Times says its “unclear” as to whether or not Milton was taking out fraudulent mortgages for use in his “side buisiness”—flipping houses. | <urn:uuid:581a2aab-43f2-4602-983e-5b3fc9add810> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://consumerist.com/2007/10/17/mortgage-office-manager-charged-with-id-theft-grand-larceny/comment-page-1/ | 2013-05-18T05:25:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.992252 | 271 |
After pioneering soap operas as ad vehicles for its cleaning products, Procter & Gamble — which cranks out Gain detergent, Head & Shoulders shampoo and Old Spice deodorant, among other products — has stopped producing long-running daytime serials to focus on social media. P&G-produced Guiding Light went dim last year, and As the World Turns stopped turning in September.
The New York Times reports P&G, which produced more than 20 soap operas over the decades, still advertises on daytime dramas, but will focus more energy convincing people to buy its wares via YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and smart phone apps, among other timely avenues.
This is bad news for the remaining soap operas. Which of the shows did you watch, and when and why did you stop?

As you’ve probably heard, the longstanding rule that classifies 1/8 cup of tomato paste as a serving of vegetables in kids’ school lunches — thus allowing a slice of pizza to qualify as a serving of veggies — was set to be changed, but political maneuvering recently scuttled that change. And not everyone is thrilled with that.
The last place you might expect to see someone commenting in a snarky fashion about this news is on the marquee outside a pizza joint. But according to folks in San Antonio, TX, this Pizza Hut recently posted the sign “NOW SERVING VEGETABLES!”
Of course, Pizza Hut and most every other pizza place, has always served veggies in addition to the red sauce on the pie. Perhaps this Hut was just touting up some new line of salads?
We’ve reached out to reps for Pizza Hut HQ to see what they think about this sign and will update if we get a response.
Pizza Hut, you’re doing it right! [Reddit]

nanopositioner; dual-stage; polysilicon process; electron micrographs
A nanopositioner is presented that has two stages for independent coarse and fine position control. Thermal microactuators operate both stages. The first stage includes a bistable mechanism: it travels 52 micrometers between two discrete positions. The second stage is mounted on the first stage and moves continuously through an additional 8 micrometers in the same direction as the first stage. Three approaches to the control of the second stage were evaluated in terms of accuracy and manufacturability, and one was selected for the design of the nanopositioner. The device was surface micromachined in a two-layer polysilicon process. Experiments were performed to characterize the resolution, repeatability, hysteresis, and thermal drift of the second stage of the nanopositioner with open-loop control. Position measurements were obtained from scanning electron micrographs by a numerical procedure, which is described in detail. The nanopositioner demonstrated 170-nanometer resolution and repeatability within 124 nanometers. The hysteresis of the second stage was 6% of its full range. The nanopositioner drifted 25 nanometers in the first 60 minutes of operation with a time constant of about 6 minutes. The dual-stage nanopositioner may be useful for applications such as variable optical attenuators or wavelength-specific add-drop devices. | <urn:uuid:689de6b2-caba-40b6-bd68-b41c09c2e862> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/IR/id/145/rec/1 | 2013-05-18T06:26:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949071 | 289 |

False teaching has bombarded the Church for almost 2,000 years. In recent decades, this deception has come in like a tidal wave. The present and long-term effects on the Body of Christ are profound. Millions of professing believers, often without realizing it, have accepted false teaching as truth and have placed error on a level equal to Scripture. Yet, believers can and should refute false teaching. Hopefully, this article will provide insight for believers to accomplish this in a biblical manner, all for the glory of God. | <urn:uuid:a0b52b6d-d060-4353-a289-5e1c0b919b45> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://conversation.lausanne.org/zh/conversations/detail/12432 | 2013-05-18T07:20:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.919799 | 112 |
Another dose of awesomeness from the world wide web, featuring (spoiler alert) Nokia Lumia 900 food blogging, some Star Wars silliness and some amazing art.
First up, how could I ignore this pic of pie. Not just any photo of pie, either, as this was snapped on a Nokia Lumia 900 by kennytechs and is part of his foodblogging experiment (actually just a chance to test out the Camera Extras on his Lumia 900). Pie makes me smile any day of week, so why not include a sweet photo here?
Next to make you smile (if only at his dedication), an awesome time lapse video of a drawing of downtown Manhattan, New York (especially apt given this was the location for last weeks’ Nokia Lumia announcement). The detail here is staggering, time-consuming and quite frankly something I would not have had the patience to even contemplate undertaking, let alone complete.
For an extra bonus art story this week, I give you portraits made from the keys of discarded keyboards. The Tarantino is particularly fine and made me smile almost as much as Quentin is scowling:
You were promised Star Wars silliness, and it would be rude of me to disappoint, so here we are. I seem to remember writing something similar a while back about stormtrooper cake, but this is one step up. Life-sized Darth Vader cake, anyone?
If cake isn’t your thing or you’d prefer something a little chillier, try lightsaber ice pops that are illuminated from the inside. Oh yes, *that* made me smile!
Accurate descriptions of department store items. I don’t recommend trying this, I don’t know how he managed it.

This is another recipe that incorporates stewed Rhubarb and as we are well and truly in the middle of rhubarb season, it's a product there's no shortage of.
You could make this purely with stewed rhubarb, but as I only had a smaller amount I've bulked it up with simple stewed apples. I've modified the crumble slightly and added flaked almonds.
Rhubarb and Apple Crumble
6 Granny smith apples
150 grams self raising flour
150 grams soft brown sugar
150 grams melted butter
50 grams shredded coconut
50 grams flaked almonds
100 grams rolled oats
Prepare the apples:
Peel, core and quarter the apples, then cut into chunks. Place in a pan with a little lemon juice and caster sugar and cook over a medium heat until the apples have softened.
Place the cooked apples in the base of a baking dish then top with stewed rhubarb.
Make the crumble:
Place the flour, sugar, coconut and rolled oats into a bowl - stir this well to ensure it's mixed through. Pour in the melted butter and continue stirring until almost combined. Add the flaked almonds and gently fold through the mix so not to break them up too much.
Take handfuls of the crumble and sprinkle evenly over the top of the fruit.
Bake in a preheated 180°C/350°F oven until golden brown and crunchy - about 35 minutes.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving with thick cream.

Do you remember that scene from the Godfather? The one in which Clemenza teaches Michael how to make a red sauce. "Start with a little oil, and fry some garlic. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and fry. Add some red wine and sugar." Well I think he'd approve of this sauce. There's no tomato paste, but there is sugar and wine and as an extra special touch, some smoked Canadian bacon that only improves the sauce with age. Which is good, because it makes enough for 1 pound of pasta, or two good-sized spaghetti squashes. More than enough to feed two people for a few days, or the entire family once.

I got this idea from a comment Maia left last time I prepared spaghetti squash, and decided I should try pairing this unique little vegetable with some homemade red sauce. Amatriciana is traditionally a pancetta and tomato sauce, and often associated with Rome. A good grating of Pecorino Romano over the top makes it a true delight.
For instructions on baking spaghetti squash, see this post. But really, it's just like baking a potato. Poke a few holes in the skin with a fork and toss it in an oven preheated to 350 for an hour. Be sure to cut it in half once its out so it doesn't continue to cook. Draining is also important so it doesn't give off all of its juices in the sauce.
Olive oil for sautéing vegetables
4 onions, coarsely chopped
8 ounces sliced Canadian bacon or smoked ham, cut into 3/4" squares
4 cloves garlic, passed through a press
2 cans (35 ounces or so) whole plum tomatoes, drained (if you're using fresh tomatoes, go for 4 cups)
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup dry red wine
Salt and pepper
Heat the oil in a 10" skillet and sauté the onions for 10 minutes. Add the bacon and garlic and continue to cook for another 5.
Stir in the tomatoes, sugar and wine. Break the tomatoes up a bit with your spoon, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Give it an occasional stir.
Toss with roasted spaghetti squash or with pasta (it's often served with bucatini). | <urn:uuid:1ad4272b-791b-4f0c-a3ec-01cb039a062b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cooking-books.blogspot.com/2008/12/spaghetti-squash-with-amatriciana-sauce.html?showComment=1229727540000 | 2013-05-18T06:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944128 | 484 |
Hydration numbers aren't that meaningful by themselves -- whether an 80% hydration level can produce a high-rising free-form loaf will depend on a lot on the types of flours or grains that are used. (Usually, 80% hydration is most appropriate for flatter or roughly shaped breads: ciabatta, focaccia, pizza dough, rustic baguettes, etc.) With the specific mixture of spelt and "strong white flour" (high protein) you mention, it should be possible to get a loaf with a little more lift. But it's hard to say for certain -- the flour itself will affect whether it's actually possible to do what you want.
Frankly, there are a lot of variables that could be creating problems beyond the ingredients. A sourdough culture that produces a lot of acid quickly can make it quite difficult to get a tall loaf. Or, if your sourdough yeast is weak and takes more than a couple hours for each rise, you might be producing too much acid. The acidic environment will tend to weaken the gluten, and you'll inevitably get a loaf that spreads. If this is the problem, you'll need to refresh the starter with a few closely spaced builds that really dilute the starter (e.g., dilute your starter 1:4 or even more with new flour/water in each build). That will strengthen the yeast but cut down on the early development of acidity. Unless you're a sourdough expert, I might actually suggest trying to get good results with regular baker's yeast in your recipe before doing the sourdough conversion, since the sourdough may be contributing more than anything else to the spreading.
If the starter isn't the problem and the ingredients can hold up the loaf, the next options are alterations to technique. The best suggestion I can give is to introduce "stretch-and-fold" maneuvers into the first rise. After you mix the final dough (which doesn't necessarily need to be heavily kneaded), come back every 30-45 minutes or so and stretch the dough from each side at a time. Pull out, lift up, and fold on top of the rest of the dough. Do this from each of the four sides of the dough. Let rest for 30-45 minutes again and repeat as often as you need until you feel the dough strengthen significantly.
If you adopt stretch-and-folds, you may not see the same amount of rise you saw without them, so you need to just keep your eye on the clock and use the same amount of time you did before for the first rise. By the time you reach the shaping phase, the dough should be much more taught and elastic.
The other significant issue is shaping. Do you do a pre-shape and bench rest before the final shaping? That can also help. Preshape by pulling the dough taught, folding in upon itself a number of times, then let rest for 15 minutes or so before doing final shaping. Basically, the more times you stretch the gluten and let it rest, the stronger the dough will get -- whether you do that in folding during the first rise or in a preshaping before bench rest, it will help. The shaping technique itself can also significantly affect the stability of the final loaf (but that's hard to explain in a text response).
Also, you may be waiting too long in the final proof if you wait to fully double in size. Unless the sourdough culture is very strong, you might have better results by waiting for only a 1.5 or 1.75 rise. If you do that, you may want to be somewhat gentle during the final shaping to preserve some of the gas from the first proof.
In fact -- if all of this sounds way too fussy for you, another option may be to skip all the stretching, folding, shaping, etc. and avoid the final rise almost altogether. Let the dough roughly double in size during the first rise, then shape very gently into a rough ball, rest just a short time until it starts to expand again (no more than an hour or so), and then throw it in to bake.
Lastly, the baking method could change things. If you're baking on a flat stone, the dough can just spread significantly during baking itself. I've sometimes seen this with high hydration sourdough -- I load it on a peel, and it looks okay before it goes in the oven, but during the oven spring phase, it just becomes wider instead of taller. Baking in a pot or round pan could help to restrain that spreading a bit without making it look too much like bread from a pan. And, if you cover a pre-heated pot for the first 15 minutes or so of the bake, it will help the oven spring and crust development.
It's hard to know which of these options will work best for you, since there are a large number of issues that could be at fault in this case. In my experience, however, the two most likely causes for spreading are a weak sourdough starter or inadequate strengthening of the gluten during shaping. | <urn:uuid:6277277c-d4c4-4976-b70b-b740404a488c> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/29627/how-to-keep-a-high-hydration-bread-loaf-from-becoming-flat/29645 | 2013-05-18T07:24:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955023 | 1,051 |

- Gluten Free Ratio Rally–Muffins on April 6th, 2011
Food is to be enjoyed….savored…even on a gluten free diet. If it doesn’t taste great, don’t eat it... but learn how to make it yourself. This has been my guiding principle since my children were first diagnosed with celiac disease in 1997. Their diagnosis has lead me to be a board member for the Gluten Intolerance Group, celiac patient conference speaker, cookbook author, cooking instructor, and blogger helping others live well on the gluten free diet. Learning how to cook can be an adventure that will introduce you to interesting people and a new way of life.
The photographs above feature pies that were baked by me. They are real, gluten free pies—your results can be the same. A big thank you to Sarah Brooke Photography, just one of the many fantastic people I have met along the way on my gluten free journey. | <urn:uuid:b3ee1a84-7bfc-45db-91b2-75688c5f2ead> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cookingglutenfree.com/tag/honey-from-flinty-rocks/ | 2013-05-18T07:19:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955886 | 210 |

Kiwi Matcha Lime Tea Cake Recipe
I remember when kiwi fruit first started showing up in the market and were a real novelty. It's funny to think they were originally named for their brown exterior, because I now think of kiwi as the vibrant green color of the fruit inside. Back in the 80's they seemed to appear exclusively in fruit tarts, providing a bright color contrast. Kiwi fruit is in season at the moment and thanks to a surplus, I've been experimenting. It turns out, they are surprisingly versatile and can take the starring role in many recipes.
There are two kinds of kiwi fruit commonly available and they are different both in look and taste. The green variety is tangy and has a citrus like flavor. The yellow version is a little more elongated and tastes sweeter with tropical notes. Technically both are berries, refreshing and juicy with a little crunch of seeds. They are full of vitamins and good both raw or in recipes. One kiwi has more than 100% recommended daily allowance of vitamin C and contains potassium, fiber, magnesium, vitamin E and is low in carbohydrates.
Because of the tangy flavor, kiwi is great in salsa, vinaigrettes and frozen in popsicles or sorbet. I made a terrific guacamole last week with some kiwi fruit and avocados, but ate it before I could snap a picture. I think you can use them almost anywhere you might use a fresh slice of tomato.
If you have too much kiwi and it starts to get soft, use it in this pretty green cake. It's a quick bread in the style of banana bread. It's tangy and moist, not too sweet, and great with a cup of tea. The matcha and lime just complement the kiwi but are not dominant flavors. You could leave out the matcha if you want, but if you are interested in finding ways to use matcha in baking, this is a good one. More great ideas and information about kiwi fruit are available on the Zespri site.
Kiwi Matcha Lime Tea Cake

I got this little project off of Pinterest and it is so easy to whip up! Just mix 1 Tablespoon of honey, 2 Tablespoons of Sugar, 1/2 Teaspoon of Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar, and 1 Tablespoon of Vaseline together and smear a nickel-sized amount onto your lips, then rinse it off after about five or six minutes. This stuff works wonders for your lips, it makes them so soft and gets rids of any dry skin, and it’s a really fun little something-to-do, especially for Valentine’s Day…*wink wink, nudge nudge*. Have fun guys, and Happy Hearts Day!
Tacos are already pretty good, but they’re even better when you make your own hard, crunchy shells. It’s so easy to do, too, and it gives you a sense of pride knowing that you did something not a lot of people do.
Now you can stuff them with whatever you want, beef, fish, pork, whatever floats your boat. Try this fun technique out and I promise you’ll never go back to the store-bought shells!
As you can probably tell, I really love food. When it’s done right, and each ingredient is used to it’s full potential, a dish can be magical. Here, I’m going to share with you a few tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your ingredients, and reach that “magical” stage.
Flour- Whenever I’m baking or using flour to cook, I always “lighten” it before I use it. This is how I do it:
…then scoop up what you just dropped!
It really makes the cake or cookies or whatever you’re making lighter and fluffier. Whether you’re using all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, cake flour, almond flour, whole-wheat flour, buckwheat flour…I could go on and on, but the point is, always be sure to lighten it!
Nuts- Whenever I use nuts, I always toast them first. You can throw them in a dry skillet and toast them over medium heat or on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees. You kow they’re done when you can smell them, and as soon as you do, pull them off the heat! Toasting the nuts really just brings out all their essential oils and makes them taste so much more fresh and flavorful.
Seeds and Spices- Coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cardamom seeds, red pepper flakes, black peppercorns, white peppercorns, cumin seeds, caraway seeds, and many other spices are so much more flavorful when they are toasted in a dry skillet, just until you can smell them, and ground up with either a mortar and pestle, or a coffee grinder dedicated just to seeds and spices!
Pasta- When boiling pasta, always be sure to salt the water ABUNDANTLY and add some really good olive oil. It makes the pasta taste so much better and keeps the noodles from sticking together.
Vegetables- Whenever I blanch vegetables, I always make sure to salt my water ABUNDANTLY and only cook them for 3-5 minutes. Then, I put them in an ice bath, consisting of a bowl filled with water and ice, that has been salted ABUNDANTLY. Again, it just makes the veggies taste good! Plus, the ice bath stops the cooking process and makes sure that the green color of the veggies is still there.
Herbs- Never use dried ones. Always go with the real deal.
Produce- Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to produce. I, personally, don’t go with the organic produce just because it tends to be a little more exprensive. If you are an organic-produce-eater, then that’s great! I love it! But for those of you like me, you can still eat the best of the best without it being labeled “organic.” Try looking at your local farmer’s market or raod-side produce stand; they will usually have the best (and cheapest) options. But if all you have is your grocery store, then just make sure that the produce is really fresh, smells like what it is, and isn’t too mushy or too hard!
Citrus- Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, etc.) are such a great ingredient to use! You can use the zest and the juice. The zest is the outside colored part of the fruit, and you can remove it a few different ways. A hand-held grater, box grater, vegetable peeler, or a citrus zester (you’ll have to chop the zest up after you use this, though) are all ways to get the zest off the citrus fruit. Just remember that you only need the colored part of the zest, the white part is bitter. And if you’re juicing citrus, either roll the fruit on the cutting board a few times while applying pressure, or stick it in the microwave for 5 seconds. This just helps loosen up all the juices inside.
I hope these help you make your dishes magical!
(Picture at the top of page URL: http://www.theluxuryspot.com/2009/07/10/nyc-restaurant-week/ I didn’t really make that! )
Fresh herbs add a great punctuation of flavor and color to any dish. They are very easy to grow in your garden or your windowsill and can be found in most grocery stores nowadays, so there’s no excuse not to use them! Just try not to use dried herbs, fresh ones add SO much more flavor!
From left to right, I have parsley, basil, mint, oregano, thyme, and rosemary growing in my backyard, and these are definitely the most common herbs and flavors used on my blog. Herbs can be a little tricky sometimes, though, and you might not know where to throw them in. This is why I’m going to take you through each and every herb and explain what it’s best paired with and how it can be used to its full potential. First up…….Parsley.
Parsley- Parsley is a very easy herb to grow and can be added to so many different dishes. It has a sort of lemony, fresh, mild flavor and is most often used as a garnish. To chop it up, just pluck the leaves from the stems, roll them into a tight ball, and chop it right up. (The stems are very soft, so it’s okay if you don’t remove all of them.) Parsley is great in salads, pastas, and marinades, and you will often see it paired with basil or other herbs. Another great use for it is to throw some on braised chicken, pork, beef, veal, or any other meat that you’ve cooked for a long period of time, just to freshen it up a bit. It is a staple in the Italian kitchen, and mine, too! (Just pick any flowers that may grow from your plant off.)
Basil- We see basil all throughout Italian cooking. It has a great sweet and mild anise flavor that will spruce up any pasta dish. To chop it, pick the leaves from the stem, stack them up, roll them like you’re rolling a cigar, and chop it from right to left. (Or left to right if you’re left-handed. Basil goes beautifully with any pasta, but is also fabulous in pesto, marinades, and marinara sauces. Caprese salad is one of my favorite spots to use basil, you just combine it with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper. This herb is absolutely one of my favorites! (If your plant starts to flower, pick the flowers and any surrounding basil off. It means that those basil leaves have gotten bitter!)
Mint- Mint is….minty! It is a classic in Greek cooking and pairs beautifully with lamb. It can be used in a Greek yogurt sauce, called tzatziki, or to garnish a lovely dessert. To chop it, you just use the same method as the basil. My grandmother used to put mint leaves in her simple syrup (1 c sugar, 1 c water boiled together), and add it to her iced tea, making mint iced tea. It’s great in cocktails or “mocktails” and, for some reason, it’s really good with peas. If you’re going to grow mint, though, make sure to put it in a pot, otherwise it’ll take over!
Oregano- Oregano is a very Mediterranean herb, being a staple in both the Italian and Greek kitchen. It has a very pungent, lemony taste, and a little bit goes a long way! To chop it, I just pick the little leaves off the stems and chop it in much of the same way as parsley. I use it most often on pizzas and in pasta salads, but it’s also great with lamb, veal, or vegetables. It’s ideal for marinades and marinara sauces, and adds a great punch of flavor to any dish! (Your plant may flower, and when that happens, just pick them off.)
Thyme- Thyme is a wonderful lemony, woodsy herb that is one of my personal favorites. When I use it, I either just pull the leaves off the stems and give them a quick chop, or I tie together a bunch of stems with kitchen twine and throw it into a soup or stew. This is also great in pasta salads, but I use it most often when I’m braising chicken, pork, or beef. I just use the “tie together” method from above and throw it into the pot, then I remove it later. Thyme is great with pork chops, chicken, and hearty soups and stews. I think you’ll love this herb just as much as I do! (If your plant grows tiny flowers, then just remove them from the stems.)
Rosemary- Rosemary is SUPER easy to grow and take care of, and it tastes great! It has that lemony, woodsy flavor like thyme, but also has a little piny-ness. I just grab the bottom of the stem and run my fingers upwards to take the leaves off. Then I chop it up super fine, because if you get a big leaf, it sorta tastes like a pine needle! Rosemary pairs so well with pork, beef, chicken, and tomatoes. It can usually be found in marinades for pork or lamb, and is almost always paired with garlic. It is that perfect punctuation of flavor in almost every dinner.
Chives- Chives are those skinny, long, green tube-looking things that have a very mild oniony flavor. Just pick them from the plant and line them up side-by-side, then run your knife across the chives so that you have little circles. Chives are perfect with salmon and are also a great addition to dips and appetizers. They can also be used, like parsley, to spruce up any braised meats. Of course, they’re good on baked potatoes as well, and I think you’ll find that they add a great depthness of flavor to many dishes. (If your plant grows big, purple flowers, then just pick them off!)
Dill- Dill tastes like pickles. It’s not one of my favorites, just because it’s so strong and potent, but it’s still tasty. Another staple in the Greek kitchen, this herb goes really well with salmon, lamb, and is great in that tzatziki sauce! To chop it up, just remove the fronds from the stems and give ‘em a chop! This herb is also great for pickling (duh!), and can often be found in salad dressings, marinades, and various sauces. This is another one of those herbs that will take over your garden, so be sure to plant it in a pot!
Cilantro- We’ve come to my favorite herb! Did you know that this was voted the most controversial food ever? Apparently, you’re either a lover or a hater……..I’m a LOVER!!!!!!!!!!! (Let me know what you are!) Cilantro has such a bright, clean flavor, and is a staple in the Mexican, Asian, and Indian kitchen. Just treat this herb exactly like parsley when chopping it up. My Aunt Amy makes an awesome corn and black bean salsa with TONS of cilantro…………..it’s heaven! However good it may be in salsa and as a garnish, though, it’s even better in salads and tacos. It goes perfectly with fish, corn, and chicken, and I just can’t get enough of it! Did you know that you could even use the seeds of the cilantro plant, coriander? It just gets better and better!
Sage- Sage is another one of those real potent, strong-flavored herbs that I rarely use. When you smell it, you’ll probably think of Thanksgiving. That’s because Thanksgiving’s one of the few places it’s used. I always julienne the sage leaves by just plucking them from the stems, rolling them up, and giving them a quick slice. Sage goes really well with chicken and turkey, but also with gamier meats, like pheasant, or wild boar, or venison. Stuffings and dressings are also great places to throw this herb in. Just remember that a little goes a long way!
Terragon- I seldom use terragon, but it’s still a great herb! It has a sweet, licorice flavor similar to basil and is mainly used in béarnaise sauce. Just pull the leaves off the stem and chop them up finely. Steak and chicken are great places to use this herb and marinades are also a good spot. It’s exotic, fun, and something that you have to try for yourself!
Chervil- Chervil is closely related to parsley and is very mild in flavor. You chop and use it in the same way as parsley and is used in a lot of French cooking. Omelets, soups, salads, poultry, seafood, and vegetables are what it works best in and it has a faint taste of sweet licorice. Next time you’re at your local farmer’s market or produce stand, look and see if they have it! It’s a fantastic herb.
Marjoram- This is a citrusy, piney herb that can sometimes be used in place of basil. It’s a relatively new herb in my kitchen, and I haven’t cooked with it much. Just strip the leaves off the stem and mince them when using it. It’s usually used in Mediterranean dishes and is similar in flavor to oregano. It’s also used in Middle Eastern and French cooking. This is something that you can experiment with and let me know what you come up with!
Scallions- Sometimes called green or spring onions, these are pretty self-explanatory. They’re very similar to chives, and when using them, chop off the roots and the very tops. Then, just slice everything in between. They are interchangeable with chives and add a lovely, mild onion flavor to salads, soup garnishes, and pastas.
Bay leaves- These are the only dried herbs I use because fresh ones are hard to find in North Texas. I just throw them whole into soups, stews, braising liquids, and water I use to cook rice in, and then pull them out later on. They really do make a huge difference in the flavor of whatever it is you’re cooking!
See, herbs aren’t that intimidating! They’re very easy to use and I know that’ll you love them in every dish you put them in! Just remember, catnip is not an herb that you want to eat! It’s only good for cats! Happy Cooking!
Double boilers are called for in lots of recipes, but if you don’t own one, it’s a pain to go find one, plus they can be very expensive! So I’m going to teach how to make your own! Start by putting some water in the bottom of a saucepan.
Bring the water to a boil and place your bowl on top. Make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water!
When your water is simmering, add whatever it is you’re melting.
Here, I’m melting cheese. But this is also great for melting chocolate, or marshmellows, I even make lemon curd in a this double boiler. Hope this helps you in the kitchen!
We do not own an actual fancy, professional pastry bag, but why go out and buy one when you can make one right in your very own kitchen! Just take your frosting and put it in a re-sealable plastic bag (like below).
Push all the frosting to one corner of the bag and twist the bag so that you have an easy handhold.
You can also fit a coupler and tip in the plastic bag to create a “real” pastry bag. | <urn:uuid:9fe5e379-587f-4eaa-9f97-a6ae09cee100> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cookingwithkatie.wordpress.com/tag/tips/ | 2013-05-18T08:01:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943264 | 3,769 |
On the 30th June 2011, WordPress will be launching version 3.2.
The new version will have large speed improvements over earlier versions, with much of the core engine being re-written. This will mean faster page loads and a faster admin area.
There is also rumored to be a new and improved editor in the admin system, with a much clearer interface.
The biggest change however will be the dropping of IE6 support. This will only affect a small number of our clients, but is still a good incentive for organisations across the world to upgrade this 10 year old browser. Many other software organisations have been dropping IE6 support for years, google for one is no longer supporting it.

Hang saving a post with certain words
|Reported by:||ckaczor||Owned by:|
Every so often I run into a problem where WordPress suddenly starts hanging when I try to save a post. I've managed to narrow this down to certain wording in the post.
For example a post with this will hang:
But to insert foo into the bar is not acceptable.
If I change "insert" to "add" the problem will go away. One other time if I changed the word "settlement" to something else the problem went away.
I'm guessing this is related to the protection for SQL injection (insert, into, etc.) but it seems broken. Ideally this would be detected as not being a SQL statement and allowed. At minimum it would be great if WordPress could say what the problem was so it could be fixed in the post a lot easier. | <urn:uuid:1f67873c-6eae-4ee3-be07-9d64cb8f2991> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14534 | 2013-05-18T06:27:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.90887 | 185 |

I've been using Wordpress more and more as a general framework and I am using it to create more of a social site than a blog. It occured to me that it would be nice to have custom visibilities. For example, If there are multiple users, and each has friends, and wants to create a post that he/she only wants to show friends, the post could have a custom visibility type called "shared" or something.
This is something which can be done easily with a custom post status as well as custom fields, but to me it would make sense logically to make it a custom post visibility. Looking into the code it seems to me that this is nowhere near easily implementable at the moment, just throwing it in as an idea. | <urn:uuid:0213ce64-f07e-4ecc-9dd1-fb92b1f317ba> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17540 | 2013-05-18T05:56:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94628 | 171 |

What is trickle down government? It is a system where more and more money comes from job creators through an ever-increasing tax burden, which is then used to benefit the enormous bureaucracy in Washington. What is left is "shared" with the taxpayers in the form of services, most of which the taxpayers don't want or need. Meanwhile, those who do not pay federal taxes become dependent on those bureaucrats for "benefits" and entitlements which keeps them voting for the politicians who continue to hire more and more bureaucrats.
Well, last night, Mr. Romney stated in three words, what is wrong with this country. He made quite clear that what is coming from Washington is exactly the opposite of what our founders intended. Rather than government depending on the taxpayers to keep them employed, providing security, safety and the rule of law, we have 330 million people who too many politicians in Washington see as nothing more than subjects whose primary purpose is to provide a comfortable lifestyle for them. Hopefully, by seeing the curtain pulled back on trickle down government, the voters are taking a fresh look at Washington and deciding it is time to return the power and the money back to "we the people" just as the Constitution intended.

STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is effective this 3rd day of September, 1996, between Legal
Research Center, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the 'Company') and James R.
Seidl, an officer and director of the Company ('Seidl').
WHEREAS, Seidl desires to purchase 500,000 additional shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the 'Shares') pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement and The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is in
the best interests of the Company to provide Seidl with an opportunity to
increase his ownership of the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SHARES. In consideration of the execution of
a promissory note for $945,312.50 (or $1.890625 per share, the closing asked
price of the Common Stock on September 4, 1996) in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the 'Promissory Note'), the Company shall issue the Shares to Seidl.
The Promissory Note shall be secured by a pledge of the Shares to the Company
pursuant to a stock pledge agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B,
but shall be otherwise non-recourse to Seidl.
2. REPRESENTATIONS OF SEIDL. Seidl hereby represents and warrants to the
Company that he is purchasing the Shares for investment purposes and not with a
view to their redistribution or resale. He has the full power, right, legal
capacity, and authority to enter into and perform his obligations under this
Agreement, and no approval or consent of any third parties is necessary in
connection herewith. He has had the opportunity to review the merits of the
purchase of the Shares contemplated hereby with tax and legal counsel and
financial advisors as deemed appropriate. Seidl understands that the Shares
acquired pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Act'), and have not been registered
under the blue sky laws of the State of Minnesota or any other state. Seidl
understands that without such registration, the Shares may not be sold, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise transferred, except pursuant to an exemption from
registration or such registration. The Shares are therefore, what is commonly
referred to as 'restricted stock.'
3. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION; WAIVER. This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter
contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations, and understandings of the parties. No supplement,
modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by both of the parties. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision,
whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No
waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the
4. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. If at any time (and each time) for a period of
five years from the date of repayment of the Promissory Note, the Company files
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933 (the 'Securities Act'), or pursuant to any other act
passed after the date of this Agreement (a 'Registration Statement'), which
filing provides for the sale of securities of the Company to the public, or
files a Regulation A Offering Statement under the Securities Act, the Company
shall, subject to the provisions hereof, offer to Seidl the opportunity to
register or qualify the Shares; provided, however, that in the case of a
Regulation A Offering, the opportunity to qualify shall be limited to the amount
of the available exemption after taking into account the securities that the
Company wishes to qualify; and provided further that if in the good faith
judgment of the managing underwriter of such offering, the inclusion of all of
the Shares covered by Seidl's request for registration would reduce the number
of shares to be offered by the Company or interfere with the successful
marketing of the shares by the Company, the number of shares otherwise to be
included in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among the
selling shareholders in such offering participating in such registration.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the registration rights set forth
herein shall not be applicable to a registration statement on Forms S-4, S-8 or
their successors or any other inappropriate forms filed by the Company with the
SEC. The Company shall bear all expenses of the registration of the Shares.
5. GOVERNING LAW. this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the day
and year first above written.

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of this 3rd day of September, 1996, by and
between Legal Research Center, Inc., hereinafter referred to as 'Secured Party'
and James R. Seidl, hereinafter referred to as 'Debtor'.
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, the
Secured Party and Debtor agree:
1) SECURITY INTEREST. For value received, Debtor hereby grants Secured
Party a security interest in 500,000 of his shares of Common Stock of Secured
Party, (the shares hereinafter referred to as the 'Shares'), together with all
rights related thereto.
2) OBLIGATION SECURED. The Shares shall secure payment of the
indebtedness and obligations of Debtor (the 'Indebtedness') under the certain
Stock Subscription Agreement of the 3rd day of September, 1996, by and between
the parties hereto (the 'Agreement') and the certain Note (the 'Note') of the
3rd day of September, 1996, issued by Debtor to Secured Party.
3) REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS. Debtor represents,
warrants and agrees that:
(a) Debtor will deliver to Secured Party such certificate(s) representing
the Shares, along with duly executed stock powers, in blank.
(b) Debtor is the owner of the Shares free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, security interests, restrictions on transfer and other
restrictions, except this security interest.
(c) Debtor will keep the Shares free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
security interests and restrictions, except this security interest,
will defend the Shares against all claims and demands of anyone other
than Secured Party, and will not sell or otherwise dispose of the
Shares or any interest therein.
(d) Debtor will pay, when due, all taxes and other governmental charges
levied or assessed upon or against any Shares.
(e) Debtor will deliver to Secured Party in pledge as additional security
any securities distributed on account of the Shares such as stock
dividends or securities arising from stock splits, reorganizations or
recapitalizations. This subparagraph shall not be construed to
authorize distributions if such distributions are prohibited by any
other agreement between the parties.
4) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following events
shall constitute an Event of Default:
(a) Failure by Debtor to honor or perform any of the terms and conditions
of this Stock Pledge Agreement, the Agreement or the Note between the
(b) Default by Debtor in the payment when due of the principal of the
Indebtedness, any installment thereto, or any interest thereon,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise.
5) REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, Secured Party may give notice of Event of
Default to Debtor. If said Event of Default is not cured within ten (10) days
after said notice is given, the entire Indebtedness shall, at Secured Party's
option, become immediately due and payable; and Secured Party may exercise and
enforce with respect to the Shares any or all rights and remedies available upon
default to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including the
right to offer and sell the Shares privately to purchasers who will agree to
take the Shares for investment and not with a view to distribution and who will
agree to the imposition of restrictive legends on the certificates representing
the Shares, and the right to arrange for a sale which would otherwise qualify as
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If notice to Debtor
of any intended disposition of the Shares or any other intended action is
required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed
commercially reasonable if given at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the
date of intended disposition or other action. Nothing in this Agreement shall
abridge Secured Party's right to exercise or enforce any or all other rights or
remedies available to Secured party by law or agreement against the Shares,
against Debtor or against any other person or property.
6) MISCELLANEOUS. Any disposition of the Shares in the manner provided
in Paragraph 5 shall be deemed commercially reasonable. This Agreement can be
waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and this security interest
can be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by Secured Party. A waiver
signed by Secured Party shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the
exercise or enforcement of any of Secured Party's rights or remedies. All
rights and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently, at Secured Party's option, and the exercise or
enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor
bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. All notices to be given to Debtor
shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered or mailed by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, to Debtor at the most recent address shown on
Secured Party's records. Secured Party's duty of care with respect to the Shares
in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if Secured Party
exercises reasonable care in physically safekeeping the Shares or exercises
reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third person as
custodian of the Shares, and Secured Party need not otherwise preserve, protect,
insure or care for the Shares. Secured Party is not obligated to preserve any
rights Debtor may have against prior parties, to realize on the Shares at all or
in any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of the Shares
in any particular order of application. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Debtor and Secured
Party and their respective successors and assigns. Except to the extent
otherwise required by law, this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws
of the State of Minnesota, and, unless the context otherwise requires, all terms
used herein which are defined in Articles 1 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code, as in effect in said State, shall have the meanings therein stated. If
any provision or application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable
in any respect, such illegality or unenforceability provision or application had
never been contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Indebtedness.

The Ford Volunteer Corps was cooking, baking and boiling, and slicing and dicing on a Ford Accelerated Action Day dedicated to feeding the hungry. More than 600 Ford employees teamed up with nonprofit partners to feed men, women and children in need.
The Ford Volunteer Corps works around the world and throughout the year to help people and strengthen communities. It's a team effort involving Ford's employees, retirees, dealers and nonprofit partners. We tackle hundreds of projects with thousands of volunteers. This video features one recent project in Billings, Montana.
For one sunny spring day, cars and trucks took a backseat to the birds and the bees, flowers and trees for hundreds of Ford volunteers participating in the Better World Ford Accelerated Action Day. The Ford Volunteer Corps mobilized nearly 1,000 employees in 10 states to work on outdoor environmental projects in local communities. | <urn:uuid:df721fa5-4848-4f71-a94d-ddfb5e10d19e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://corporate.ford.com/our-company/community/ford-volunteer-corps-news | 2013-05-18T06:42:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941629 | 171 |
By Seth Stevenson
NEW YORK — Sara Horowitz was born into a proud union family. Her father worked as a labor lawyer, her grandfather as a vice president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. So it felt like kismet when, on the first day of a new law firm job, Horowitz discovered that she and several other recent hires had been classified as independent contractors. "We weren't given retirement or health insurance benefits. We called ourselves 'the transient workers union,' and I was made president. We joked about it, but for me it was a significant aha! moment. I started realizing there was this whole new way that workers were being treated."
This was the inception of what has since turned into Horowitz's all-encompassing calling. Freelance contractors made up 31 percent of the American workforce in 2005, according to a GAO report, and that ratio is almost surely even higher today. As the freelance trend began to accelerate, in Horowitz's recounting, labor activists at first tried to cajole corporations into hiring all those independent contractors as full-time staff with benefits. But to Horowitz, it was clear this was a losing battle. "It would never make sense from the company's perspective," she says, "and we'd never have enough leverage." Instead, she envisioned a new strategy: She'd find ways to organize and protect freelance workers — in all sorts of fields — in the same way that classic trade unions provide safety nets for corporate employees.
This ongoing quest led to Horowitz's creation of the Freelancers Insurance Company, which now provides health coverage for close to 25,000 New Yorkers and is approaching $100 million in revenues. Along the way, Horowitz has received countless personal accolades. She was awarded a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" in 1999, and in December was named to the New York Federal Reserve Bank board of directors. What's her secret — how did she transform a goal into a successful battle plan?
Horowitz began by forming the nonprofit Freelancers Union in 2003. It shared information, nurtured freelancer networking, and began the process of building solidarity. But she quickly saw that, for independent contractors who don't get coverage through their employers, obtaining affordable health insurance was the truly pressing issue.
Her first instinct was to deal with existing insurance companies to get her group a better rate. But at a certain point she decided the plans that were already out there didn't fit freelancers' needs and didn't account for their unique circumstances. So why not invent an insurance company of her own? "It was an audacious idea," chuckles Nancy Barrand of the Robert Woods Johnson foundation, which helped provide funding to get Horowitz's project off the ground. "People don't just start insurance companies in this day and age. She had to raise $10 million in reserves to qualify for an insurance license in New York. But she'd been negotiating with insurance companies, she knew the market, she'd seen the data on costs and benefits, and she realized, 'I can make it work better. I can be more efficient. I can do it myself.' "
The Freelancers Insurance Company launched in New York in 2008. It is wholly owned by the Freelancers Union and has no individual shareholders. In its first year, FIC lost money and had to raise rates. But by its second year, it was profitable. It has been profitable ever since. At a time when other insurance providers are seeking and winning double-digit rate increases, FIC has managed to freeze its premiums for the coming year. (Disclosure: I signed on for FIC health coverage last year. So far, so good.)
Sitting at her desk in a low-profile office in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood, Horowitz described to me a three-step process for turning a notion into a reality. It boils down to: 1) Find the North Star that guides your mission. 2) Practice poking holes in your business model until you're certain it will actually work. 3) Find people who understand the concept of loyalty.
"It's an interesting characteristic of Sara that she can identify macro trends," says Maria Gotsch of the New York City Investment Fund, a private organization that provides startup capital for civically useful projects. "She saw the shift in the workforce, where people were no longer being tied to an employer, and she understood what that meant for collective benefits. She'd done a lot of thinking about the macro forces in place." Horowitz's North Star is to improve the lives of this new and growing category of American worker. Every move she makes, big or small, is steered by this overarching idea.
This fall saw the opening of the Freelancers Medical Center in Brooklyn, where members get zero copay care and free yoga classes, among other perks. She next envisions a new form of unemployment insurance for the contractor class — helping freelancers make it through dry spells the same way that fired full-time employees can rely on the government for support. And there's that spot on the New York Fed board. ("We need to bring the freelancer's viewpoint into national discussions over capital and finance," she says.) Horowitz can toss around highfalutin' discourse on Northern Italian cooperative regions, the history of trade unionism and the concept of "new mutualism." But her focus always remains on achieving tangible results.

Gunman severely wounds Swedish woman in Pakistan
A gunman on a motorcycle shot and severely wounded an elderly Swedish woman who worked at a church in eastern Pakistan on Monday, officials said.
The woman, who was identified by Pakistani police as Bargetta Emmi, was getting out of her car in front of her home in the city of Lahore when she was shot in the neck by an unknown assailant. Her servants reported the incident to police, said Pakistani police officer Malik Awais.
She was a director of FGA Church (Full Gospel Assemblies of Pakistan), Awais said.
Swedish Foreign Ministry spokesman Teo Zetterman confirmed en elderly Swedish woman was shot and severely wounded in Lahore. He said she was a volunteer worker in her 70s, but did not provide her name or where she worked.
The woman is a Swedish citizen but has lived and worked in Pakistan for several years, said Zetterman.
The gunman who shot Emmi escaped, and the motive was unclear.
Also in Lahore, gunmen on Monday desecrated over 100 graves of Ahmadis, members of a persecuted religious sect in Pakistan, said Awais, the police officer. More than a dozen gunmen held the caretakers of the graveyard hostage while they defaced the graves.
"You can't inscribe verses from the holy Quran on the graves. You are Ahmadis. You are not Muslims," one of the attackers told the caretakers, according to Awais.
Parliament amended Pakistan's constitution in 1974 to declare that Ahmadis were not considered Muslims under the law.
Ahmadis believe their spiritual leader, Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who died in 1908, was a messiah - a position rejected by the government in response to a mass movement led by Pakistan's major Islamic parties.
The Ahmadis' plight - along with that of Pakistan's other religious minorities, such as Shiite Muslims, Christians and Hindus - has deepened in recent years as hard-line interpretations of Islam have gained ground and militants have stepped up attacks against groups they oppose. Most Pakistanis are Sunni Muslims.
Also Monday, a roadside bomb ripped through a police van as it was patrolling on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing two officers and wounding two others, said senior police officer Javed Khan.
Peshwar is on the edge of Pakistan's tribal region, the main sanctuary for Taliban militants in the country, and has been hit by frequent bombings over the past few years.
In the southern city of Karachi, a gunman riding on a motorcycle killed the leader of an Islamic seminary, sparking a riot by hundreds of seminary students, who stoned shops and set vehicles on fire, said police officer Azhar Iqbal.
Karachi has a long history of political, sectarian and ethnic strife, which has been on the rise this year.
Associated Press writers Louise Nordstrom in Stockholm, Adil Jawad in Karachi, Pakistan and Sebastian Abbot in Islamabad contributed to this report. | <urn:uuid:a8e8112a-0857-4571-a852-e858a1c09026> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cortezjournal.com/article/20121203/API/1212030517/Gunman-severely-wounds-Swedish-woman-in-Pakistan | 2013-05-18T06:56:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975831 | 620 |
So I haul make up quite regularly *cough cough* and there’s no doubt that some things induce far more excitement than others.
I was thinking; most make up I buy without thinking, out of habit (ie. I collect Nars multiples so I’ll even buy ones that don’t suit me!) and quite often just because I want to review it, or swatch it, or just because it’s a new release. (When I buy MAC for example, I usually find it quite a ‘staple’ brand and I don’t get too excited about my orders arriving.)
Only sometimes do I buy something that makes me really giddy and excited and I’m counting down the days for it to arrive.
It’s usually something expensive, something Asian, something Limited Edition. Who am I kidding? A quick whip around in Superdrug just doesn’t feel the same!
At the moment I am giddy at the prospect of a few things that are in the post…Cle De Peau Extra Rich Lipstick, a new Anna Sui Eyeshadow (most beautiful shell packaging), YSL’s Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks, Jill Stuart’s Loose Blush (so damn expensive!). I have some really cute bits from Melliesh and Candydoll cosmetics too! Can’t wait!
I get the package in the post (and I always know what’s inside cos tragically, I recognise the handwriting) and savour it before opening. Pretty, pretty make up inside. I think I’m addicted to parcels.
So how do you feel about your hauls?
Is everything you buy something you are giddy about or do you ever buy out of habit or peer pressure etc?
Do you have anything due in the post that is making you excited? | <urn:uuid:9a79e0df-f070-470c-b74a-1dca4da250ae> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cosmetic-candy.com/beauty-ramble-what-beauty-hauls-make-you-truly-excited/comment-page-1/ | 2013-05-18T08:08:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935407 | 391 |
I remember when Blinc Mascara first launched – it was grey and was one of the first mascara’s that formed tubes around your lashes that washed off with warm water.
It was one of the first mascara’s I used regularly, because before I discovered Japanese mascara’s, the usual brands ran on me leaving panda eyes. Blinc certainly didn’t leave any panda-ness. I revisited the brand and got a few core items:
They’ve expanded but not too much. Does it still stand up to the test?….
The Mascara (which I got in purple) is like I remembered it but more lengthening. My main gripe with it back there was that its a very very natural mascara. I have no complaints about its lasting power or the fact it does indeed come of easily with a bit of warm water.
It’s my mum and aunts staple mascara – they won’t use anything else. I found it quite a comforting mascara to use in that I knew it wouldn’t be a bummer to get off and there would be no running.
If I have a criticism about it, its that it made my lashes feel a little dry on. It didn’t flake on me, but I did feel it lacked a bit of gloss:
In terms of the fact that its a very natural mascara, the primer helped a lot. Its a whitish primer that I used on the ends of the lashes – with the mascara on top I had the amount of volume and length I wanted. Overall though, Blinc I think is more lengthening than volumizing. Perhaps they need to launch a thickening version of the mascara?
I LOVE the liquid eyeliner (by the way, the mascara and liner come in a few staple colours, black, brown, blue, purple).
Oh yes – this liquid liner is very deep and true, and it stays on and washes off like the mascara. (I used this in the 50s tutorial). HIGHLY recommended, as I hate liquid liners that aren’t a true black or run:
I don’t use heated eyelash curlers on their own but this is great for setting the mascara.
So I curl with curlers, primer, mascara then use this heated one over that to set it – it does make a difference. Takes about 2 minutes to heat up – recommended again. There are some cheaper versions of heated curlers mind, but so far, this is the best one I have found because it gets got enough.
All in all, I can see why this brand is still going strong and why so many women swear by it. It genuinely won’t run on you, and at the same time, comes off easily. If it could improve on anything, it would be the fact that it is quite natural.
You can buy the range here. | <urn:uuid:4908f8dc-6aef-4d0e-9c29-a5dbed4d6705> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cosmetic-candy.com/blinc-haul-blinc-mascara-eyeliner-primer-curler/comment-page-1/ | 2013-05-18T05:59:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969205 | 609 |

There's a document called the Brookings Report that was written when NASA was first formed. It's a very long document covering at length the implications of civilian space exploration. There are, I think, two mentions in there that the discovery of intelligent extraterrestrial life could be upsetting to certain establishments of our civilization. The woo-woos have latched onto this as evidence that NASA would cover up any such finding, even though they're the only ones who even seem to remember the Brookings Report any more.

Toronto Media Co-op
I’m late. Throngs of protesters moving south on Queen. There’s thousands of people here. Uncomfirmed reports that people were detained from Queen’s Park before the march even began.
A damn fool is risking death by yoga at University and Queen. We just passed by the heavily fortified US consulate at University and Armoury. There are hundreds of groups here including many of the big names: Canadian Labour Congress, Amnesty, a couple COmmunist Parties, the UFCW, Greenpeace, CUPE and a host of other smaller groups. It’s amazing, there’s well above 10,000 people here. The largest previous G8 protest in North America was 3,000 people.
Me and a couple of Alternative Media Centre folks run up ahead to try to get to the front of the march. This involves running full tilt from University to Spadina through the huge swaths of people. We don’t even come close the the front of the march. We pass the a group of protesters employing the Black Bloc tactic but are peaceful. The police are halting any movement to the South of Queen by long lines of cops blocking each street with huge presence of police in the background.
Protesters are breaking off towards the fence at Spadina and Bloor. CUPE 1005 Steelworkers are one of the first groups to inform that they will be approaching the riot line and confronting Police. Thousands turn toward the Police lines and an immediate stalemate. Marimba bands and various groups show up.
Thousands chant “Strength in Numbers” and “No one is Illegal”. Thousands are still coming and going from the march.
Montreal riot Police show up. Protesters are throwing flowers at Police while the Black Bloc’ers have come and gone. Someone lights a flare creating a lot of smoke and confusing atmosphere. The police just used tear gas.
People are showing up reporting clashes with Police back towards University. A protester is sporting an arm brace from getting batoned by a cop. Other protesters are reporting beatens from police. One man had a serious head injury and a lot of blood loss from Police beating him over the head.
I start walking back towards Universtiy on Queen but am stopped by a riot line of Police protecting a smashed in cop car about 50 meters from Spadina. Seems like someone has run amok. There’s every kind of Police here today. RCMP, Toronto Police, York Police, Peel Police, and a couple of other cop patches including one that says “POU”. The police are holding tasers and have pepper sprayed people. Someone teels me there is a fire downtown and I sleathly make my way through the line.
Wow! Targetted vandalism is visable all along Queen and Toronto has erupted into chaos. Starbucks, Nike, Scotiabank, TD, BMO, CIBC, Royal Bank all got the brunt of some window smashing and spray-paint. Not sure the Canadian banks $125 Billion bailout will cover it. I’m aslo hearing reports that the fire was actually a police cruiser that has been set on fire. Reports later claim that a number of business have been hit including an American Apparel, a Pizza-Pizza, a Tim Hortons and some small businesses. There are small bands of protesters EVERYWHERE and handfuls of 100-200 are challenging police at various spots. No signs of any protester violence.
King and Bay. The burnt out cop car is being shielded by cops so I choose another route to get a closer look. I hit another wall before riot police start moving in on protesters and pushing them back. So I go through a shortcut! I make sure to thank the police several times for assaulting several people, 100′s of illegal detentions and searches and for punching one of my colleges in the face yesterday. Twice. As a single guy with a press pass, I move through some nooks and crannies easily. I end up on the other side of both riot lines easily.
Well it turns out the report of a burnt and destroyed car was not exactly true. There were 2 cars burnt and 4 were destroyed. A small band of press are there mostly ignored by police. The cars are totalled and the BMO, Scotiabank and CIBC nearby have been targetted. The security guard nearby says he didn’t see what happened.
It’s like night and day down here. I’m on the other side of the police lines and can see bedlam and clashing between bands of police and protesters on many streets north of here. South is quiet and relaxed. Many delegate drivers are milling about. The G20 leaders are living in peace behind their castle walls. The centre of the financial district is eeringly ominous and still after what I’ve already seen.
I’m heading North on University with a newly found media partner. A man is walking South. He has a small stick (the size of a drumstick), a bell that he’s hitting and a bag. A police officer confronts him but he keeps walking. The police officer (TPS Constable #2256) starts demanding things and pushing him around saying that he’s going to lose his bag. The man doesn’t say a word to him and tries to ignore him and keeps picking up his things which the cop keeps throwing on the ground. The officer has not charged him with anything or recieved his consent to search his bag (this is commonly known as ‘police breaking the law’). As the man continued to be uncooperative, the cop threw him to the ground, sat on his back and arrested him. I asked repeated times what he was charged with and the police officer told me “this doesn’t concern you.” The man on the ground spit on the sidewalk near the cops shoe. The cop said he was going to charge him with assault. Other police showed up to take the man away. Good ‘Ol Constible #2256 told them the man was being charged with assaulting a police officer.
Trying to get back to my bike and instead run into 100′s of riot police marching and several other Alternative Media Centre Journalists. We follow them to another standoff with police. The Downtown core resembles a decentralized and unfocused riot. We again thank the police numerous times for for assaulting several people, 100′s of illegal detentions and searches and for punching one of my colleges in the face yesterday. Twice.
We head up to Queens park seeing spoadic vandalism along the way. Lots of vandalism but no protester violence to speak of. Protesters are not attacking or using force with police in any way.
Queen’s Park, the ‘designated’ protest zone has turned into a non-violent war zone. I’m there about 10 minutes to see police viciously grabbing peaceful protesters, most of them sitting on the pavement. A staunch standoff occurs with police running out to grab heckling protesters every 30 seconds, advancing to push protesters back and shooting them with hundreds of gaseous tear gas pellets and rubber bullets. A number of these protesters have not confronted police at all today and many of them were not protesting. Hundreds of protesters are being pushed back. I REALLY thank the police as loudly as possible.
I snake through the University of Toronto to find my bike.
Back at the Alternative Media Centre. We’re hearing reports of chaos all over the City. Queen’s park protesters are apparently being pushed back and arrested on mass. More reports of rubber bullets and violence against protesters. Updated reports coming in that many organizers have been arrested, searched and detained illegally. Two Alternative Media Centre journalists have been arrested. Chicago Indymedia Centre has been denied entry at the border, like many others this weekend. Events being planned to help those in jail. Ongoing confontations between police and peaceful protesters.
Got this message from someone who accidentally went to Queens Park:
“My mom, me and my brother we were all at Queen’s Park and we just got there 30 seconds before they said move. They pushed back all of us with their bikes and pepper sprayed us. They were pushing my mom and me and throwing punches at my brother and they just kept pushing forward and saying “move move move” and not really caring who was there. I have cancer and I kept saying “I have cancer, I have cancer,” but they didn’t care, they just kept pushing forward.
They just said “move! move!” I didn’t provoke anything or say anything. I wasn’t protesting, my brother was before, but I was just curious to see what was going on. We didn’t have time [to move], we did not have any time to react.
We have to be seen by paramedics and stuff. We’re going home soon but we’re with paramedics right now. No one from the police talked to us.”
Alternative Media Centre story meeting. We’ve got coverage of everything that happened today. We’re hearing rolling updates of a major protest near the security fence with protesters demanding to speak with a leader of the G20. There’s also a massive protest at the Novatel hotel. Queen’s Park protesters have been crushed with mass arrests. We miss friends and our co-workers who are in jail right now.
Mass arrests of people peacefully protesting at the Novatel hotel. We’re hearing 150 people and 70 people still there. More raids and arrests of Alternative Media Centre people. We send them our love.
June 27, 2010
Still random pockets of people trying to confront the G20. I head to all night reporting at CKLN, with great interviews, music and analysis.
We’re hearing 100′s of people rallying on Eastern Av. for jail solidarity are being surrounded by Police.
30 people arrested by police for unlawful assembly. They were told if they left they would not be arrested, but the police lied. Thanks. Police followed and have now arrested a large portion of the rally. A number of them have been processed already. Patrick, one of the protesters, is live on air at CKLN and watching his friends get arrested. Sorry Patrick. | <urn:uuid:38658c36-a612-4263-b563-096ff850796e> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://coto2.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/i-cant-even-describe-it-in-words-toronto-g20-protests-by-the-minute/ | 2013-05-18T08:02:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970818 | 2,164 |

Whenever I am shopping, I watch for markdowns in the grocery store. Organic chicken is pretty pricey, but we prefer to buy it whenever we can. One of the ways that we are able to do so is by watching for manager specials and discounts near the sell by date. I then take it home and pop it in the freezer until we are ready to use it. Whenever I’m in the produce section, I look for bananas that are getting a bit ripe. If they aren’t yet marked down, I ask the produce attendant if he/she is willing to mark them down for quick sale. They almost always are more than happy to do so. When I’m shopping for just about anything that has a sell by or expiration date, I try to pay attention to it. If the current date is just a couple of days before that date, I’ll ask if the attendant is willing to mark them down. It is my experience that if the item’s expiration date is that day or beyond, the clerks will pull the products and not sell them.
The stores at which I shop still allow coupons with manager markdowns. Frugally Farming Family noted recently that her Kroger is no longer allowing the matchup. If in doubt, you might want to ask your store’s manager how they are handling this. | <urn:uuid:c53e3519-1e7b-4b83-a74a-ad3f291cbf66> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://couponingincriticaltimes.blogspot.com/2011/06/tip-of-daywatch-for-markdowns.html | 2013-05-18T06:56:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965311 | 276 |
School officials want to cut $500,000 to $1 million
BIDDEFORD – With grades one to nine beginning classes on Sept. 4, it appears the 2012-2013 school year will begin without a new budget after exactly 1,000 residents turned out to the polls to vote down the school budget for the second time.
The Aug. 16 referendum proposed a $32.6 million budget that was scaled back by more than $400,000 by new Superintendent of Schools Jeremy Ray and the Biddeford School Committee. However, the budget was still defeated by a little more than 100 votes. In total, 553 residents voted against the budget, while 446 voted in favor.
The referendum also had a second question on the ballot: whether voters felt the budget was too high or too low. In total, 640 voters said the budget is still too high, while 263 voters feel the budget is too low.
The original school budget, which totaled $32.9 million, was first voted down during a June 21 referendum.
“I’m disappointed but not surprised,” Ray said. “The economy is a challenge right now and people are worried about tax increases. This presents a challenge, but not one that we won’t overcome.”
Because a 2013 budget has not been approved, Ray said the schools will adopt last year’s budget of $30.9 million. The budget will go back to Ray and school committee members, who will look for more cuts before sending the budget back out to referendum.
In a recent letter to the editor published in the Courier, Ray said the cost to hold the next referendum will be a local expense and will not be covered by the department of education. City Clerk Carmen Morris said the cost of an election hasn’t been totaled, but paid overtime for clerk staff, advertising and printing costs are the most notable expenses.
The budget will continue to go to referendum until a budget is approved, said Ray. The most recent budget eliminated several technology initiatives and unfilled staff positions. Ray said the last budget presented was “as far as the committee could go” without making staff cuts, and said he is unsure what other efficiencies the district could suggest at this time.
Ray said because staff positions are in danger, he wants to make sure the committee does not have go through the whole revision process again.
“We need to study the organization and make sure we’re not going after a position here and a position here,” Ray said. “We need a thematic and systematic approach so there is a process so when we lose something we can think about how we can build greater consistencies in our schools kindergarten to 12th grade.”
School Committee Vice Chairman Tammy Fleurent said any cuts to staff would mean the quality of education would diminish in classrooms. Fleurent said a kindergarten classroom, which assigns up to 15 children to a teacher, would now have classes of 20 or more.
“I don’t think any more cuts would be adequate funding for a school district with this many needs,” Fleurent said.
Meanwhile, committee member Anthony Michaud believes the school committee should decrease the budget further. Michaud, who was not in favor of the 5.88 percent budget increase during the latest budget process, said he wants toseenomorethana3percentincrease, which would bring the budget between $31 million and $32 million.
“I think the citizens of Biddeford lack trust in the school committee and how we’ve done our finances in the past administrations,” Michaud said.
Michaud said instead of looking at staff cuts, the school committee should be looking at cutting more stipends and programs. Particularly, Michaud said he would like to see a cut in stipends that are paid to teachers for work done during the school day. Michaud feels only work done before and after school hours should be considered eligible for stipends.
“We have to do more with less,” Michaud said. “Businesses and corporations are doing more with less and the schools should do the same.”
In one of his first acts as superintendent, Ray held a public forum in order to hear the concerns residents had over the budget. Ray said he would continue to seek public input in order to reach a number the community is comfortable with.
Because of the communication with the public, Committee Member Bil Moriarty said he was surprised by the results, but also feels the district is progressing to a budget number the public can agree with.
During the Aug. 16 referendum there was an increase of 300 voters from those who voted at the polls in the June 21 referendum. In the first referendum more than a 2-to-1 margin out voted the budget
Moriarty feels a good starting point would be $500,000 in cuts, but still wants public input, something he feels the committee didn’t receive enough of during the last process.
“I think we’re close,” Moriarty said. “But people are saying they want leadership, but we held several workshops on this budget and only seven people showed up, and half of them were teachers. People need to let us know what they want from this budget.”
School Committee Chairman Alan Casavant, who is also the mayor, agreed with Moriarty, and said if no one from the public is offering suggestions, there may be cuts to student services.
“The problem is trying to find the niche voters are going to be comfortable with,” Casavant said. “We have reached a point where we would be affecting students. Now the staff might be affected so we have ask, ‘How are we going to go about doing that.’”
Casavant said the school committee, finance committee and City Manager John Bubier will meet before the next budget proposal is set to see if the schools can share certain services with the city government to cut costs.
“We want to break through that wall for better efficiency,” Casavant said.
Ray and Casavant said an emergency school committee meeting would be held soon to consider budget options. | <urn:uuid:2f48312d-b2d4-438c-9601-64e05903c71d> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://courier.mainelymediallc.com/news/2012-08-23/News/School_officials_want_to_cut_500000_to_1_million.html | 2013-05-18T05:54:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974018 | 1,293 |

Not scared of the dentist anymore
Mike Roark’s piece on fear of the dentist reminded me of the fear I learned starting nearly 70 years ago. Even the simplest dental procedure came with agony beyond description. Novocain, when it came along, was inexpertly applied and I think it only added to the pain of the experience.
Throughout my life I let this fear keep me from getting timely dental care. Even though in recent years I experienced den...

I know kids nowadays are disrespectful, but you have to show love and respect toward these kids to get it.
And our coaches need to keep this in mind. Sometimes there are a few coaches that treat their players like it’s the big league. This is supposed to be a fun summer sport.
And please treat all the kids equal whether they are tall, skinny, short or fat. Because it does hurt them.
I thank all the coaches this season.

The richness of fabric, design and variance of textures creates a striking contrast between light and dark as the quilters create a variety of everything from quilts to wall hangings, table runners, place mats, photo-sized, etc.
Several of the mostly female quilters are members of a quilt club and/or the River Valley Quilters, which was formed in 1985 to promote the appreciation of the rich heritage of the art of quilting. Their aim is to enhance knowledge through sharing skills and ideas with members and others with a purpose of preserving the art of quilting for future generations. Many of the exhibitors will share stories of who the quilt was made for, what it represents and the inspiration for the quilt.
The exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public. A Sunday Family Funday is held in the classroom at the same time as the reception. This is a time for parents to introduce young children to the exhibit in the gallery and for them to create an art project to take home. All supplies and an instructor are provided.
“One of the greatest challenges for even some of the larger museums and arts centers today is finding ways to remove barriers to community participation, including admission charges,” D. Bacigalupi, executive director of the Crystal Bridges Museum, said.
“We are pleased that we’ve been able to bring quality exhibits and exhibit receptions that can be enjoyed by area residents and visitors that are free and open to the public,” Betty LaGrone, executive director of the River Valley Arts Center, said. “We appreciate all our members and supporters for making admissions and many of our programs free of charge to the public.” | <urn:uuid:527ac2a8-39fb-4dfc-9f75-892a867395ba> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://couriernews.com/view/full_story/20326636/article-Art-center-to-hold-quilt-exhibit | 2013-05-18T05:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969002 | 356 |

that's really horrible news for Ok St IMO. I thought Young did an amazing job. He groomed some 2-3 star high school players into NFL level talent. His D created a ton of turnovers. While they gave up quite a few yards and points, they were always left on the field most of the game because of how quickly the offense either scored or punted. I don't think Young was working with the caliber of recruits that UT or OU has had either and yet OK St has beaten both them a fair amount recently. | <urn:uuid:9a5aab33-d49f-4a62-9137-9bf1adad2bd2> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4957804&postcount=2 | 2013-05-18T07:22:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975271 | 238 |
GLENDALE – Steve Sullivan isn't a point-a-game player – until Columbus shows up on the schedule.
The Blue Jackets came to Arizona at just the right time for Sullivan, a free-agent signing last summer, to endear himself to his new teammates. Sullivan scored three times during a run of five unanswered goals as the Coyotes overcame the loss of star goalie Mike Smith with a 5-1 victory, their first after two disappointing losses to start the season.
It was the eighth career hat trick for Sullivan, who now has 19 goals and 48 points in 48 career games against the Blue Jackets.
"Everyone wanted to put in a better effort, especially myself, and we got it. That's the kind of hockey we need to play to win," said Sullivan, who thrived in a similar system to Phoenix's for 5 1/2 seasons with the Predators. "You're brought in for a certain reason and you don't want to disappoint. If you look at this team as I watched them in the playoffs last year, everyone has a set role and everyone knows what they have to do to be successful. When they do those things well they win games.
"We really wanted this hockey game, and with the shortened season we knew it was big for us."
But why is he so successful against Columbus?
"I don't know what the difference is about that one team," Sullivan said with a laugh. "I don't want to play for them because I need to play against them."
Smith, who allowed 10 goals in the first two games, suffered a minor lower-body injury in warmups and lasted only 11 minutes before giving way to backup Jason LaBarbera. LaBarbera made 21 saves, including two big ones on Vinny Prospal and Ryan Johansen in his first minute of action.
It was the first win for LaBarbera, 3-9-3 last season, in 11 decisions dating to a victory at Carolina on Dec. 21, 2011.
"You don't have time to think about anything when you have to make a big save right away and then a little rebound. That's why you work on things like that in practice," LaBarbera said. "We were focused and played an unreal game. We cut down on turnovers and kept the puck in their end."
Defenseman Oliver-Ekman Larsson added two goals and a career-high three points for Phoenix, which won without center Martin Hanzal and defenseman Rostislav Klesla. Both sat out with lower-body injuries suffered in Sunday's loss to Chicago and are day-to-day.
"That was an important game for us and we knew it," Ekman-Larsson said. "It was good to see us get back to the things that make us successful."

Defenseman Fedor Tyutin scored his first goal of the season for Columbus (1-1-1) but Phoenix outshot Columbus 42-26, forcing Steve Mason to make 37 saves in his first start of the season.
"We played a decent road game and then it unraveled and it unraveled quickly," Columbus Head Coach Todd Richards said. "We've got to do more to create offense. The breakdowns we had are things we covered and things we have executed in our first two games."
LaBarbera was screened by Derek Dorsett on the only goal he allowed as Tyutin let a shot go from the point. It was the first goal of the season for Tyutin and the first time Columbus has scored the opening goal in a game this season.
But the Coyotes needed just 1:57 to respond. Sullivan held the puck in the Columbus zone, chased down an Antoine Vermette pass and shoveled a backhander by Mason at 7:27 for his first goal with the Coyotes.
Phoenix (1-2-0) took the lead for good less than eight minutes later. Ekman-Larsson trailed the rush, retrieved a pass that caromed off the stick of Matthew Lombardi and whipped a wrist shot past Mason to put the Coyotes ahead at 15:22.
"That was a nice shot. We've seen him score goals like that in Portland (AHL) this year," Coyotes Head Coach Dave Tippett said.
Sullivan made it 3-1 on a 5-on-3 power play, putting home a Mikkel Boedker feed from the slot with both Dorsett and Derick Brassard in the box serving tripping penalties. Sullivan closed out his big night at 10:01, deflecting a Derek Morris shot from the slot through Mason's legs to send hats flying.
Ekman-Larsson added his second goal of the night with 4:58 to play.
1. The Coyotes are 61-4-3 under Head Coach Dave Tippett since the start of the 2009-10 season when scoring four or more goals.
2. Goalie Jason LaBarbera stopped 21 of 22 shots in relief of Mike Smith in his season debut and earned the win. For those wondering, that's pro wrestler CM Punk painted on LaBarbera's mask.
3. The Coyotes are 99-4-0 under Head Coach Dave Tippett since the start of the 2009-10 season when leading after two periods.
4. Center Antoine Vermette notched two assists and won 12-of-14 faceoffs.
5. The Coyotes outshot the Blue Jackets 42-26. Phoenix is tied for second in the League with 37.0 shots per game. | <urn:uuid:665fef59-369b-4d99-a6af-9259f1c2b6f8> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://coyotes.nhl.com/club/recap.htm?id=2012020039 | 2013-05-18T05:25:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977321 | 1,175 |
Coyotes spend a good deal of their day sleeping. Members of a pack or family may sleep within close proximity of each other, or they may sleep much further apart, but probably within the same couple of acres of each other. They have amazing built-in time clocks, but they also are influenced by circumstances of the moment. My own dog could tell the time and knew what was to be done at that time. For example, I always set off, with my dog, at exactly 2:40 to pick up one of my kids at school. But one day I fell asleep — I would not have made it on time except that my dog began poking me with her muzzle at exactly 2:40. Needless to say, I was amazed. The same is true for coyotes — they seem to know when it is time to meet up, but if people or dogs are around, they will delay.
Most coyotes I know like to go trekking alone. After all, their staple diet consists of voles and gophers — animals that really can’t be divvied up very well. Might as well hunt alone. But some coyotes do enjoy trekking together, usually in pairs. When they hunt in pairs, there is usually a rendezvous beforehand.
Rendezvous locations can remain the same for a while, or they can change drastically from day to day, but coyotes seem to have various favorite meeting spots which they alternate between for a while, before changing these altogether . This is where they congregate to then move together for their foraging.
In this case here, the older female had spent her day sleeping in the sun quite some distance from where the young male had been also sleeping in the sun. The female was the first to move around — she disappeared into some bushes. In the meantime, I watched the male who moved from where he had been sleeping to a new location where he curled up and then dozed a while longer. Finally, he got up, stretched, scratched, and began to forage. I watched him catch a vole and toy with it. He continued searching for voles and then looked up ahead. He must have seen the female approaching, because he sat down and watched intently. She trotted over, and arrived on the scene.
The ritual began with hugs and kisses. They are hidden in the grass in these photos, but you can see what is going on. It was intense, but lasted only about a minute. That was the first phase of the meeting. Then there was a pause where all activity ceased. I think the male was waiting for something, but since nothing happened he turned around and backed into her — it looked like a request. He did it again and then looked over his shoulder: “well?”. The older female was obliging. She began grooming the young fellow, pulling off burrs and bugs. He accepted this, repeatedly laying his ears back against his head — he seemed to melt with the attention. There was care, affection, and intensity here which few animals that I have seen show each other. The next phase of the meeting involved trotting off together. From what I have seen in the past — though I did not follow them this time — they will spend their time together trekking, marking their territory, hunting, playing, exploring and maybe even meeting up briefly with a couple of lone coyotes who live adjacent to this territory, before again returning to separate localities to rest. | <urn:uuid:5a9c94b6-6e5d-4b70-bd29-dc2270e0c891> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://coyoteyipps.com/category/coyote-behavior/feelings-emotions/ | 2013-05-18T06:29:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990217 | 712 |
More BlackBerry Link images appear online
BlackBerry Link will be the BlackBerry Desktop Software replacement for BlackBerry 10. We've seen some images and features in the past, but some more leaked shots have surfaced that show off more of the new software. From the looks of things BlackBerry Link will have a much better UI than the previous software and allow you to transfer files to and from your device, browse files and perform restore/backup and other device functions. It should be fairly full-featured and will be a welcome upgrade from previous versions. Check out some more images below. | <urn:uuid:b7c765b5-237d-488b-af8b-400b25bf63e0> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://crackberry.com/more-blackberry-link-images-appear-online | 2013-05-18T05:59:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.916584 | 115 |
- Hero Arts Big Owl stamp
- Perfectly Clear Snowflake Symphony stamps (from Handy Hippo)
- Studio G mini xmas stamps
- High Hopes Santa Hat stamp (from Silly Monkey Crafts)
- Blue Brilliance Ink
- Versamark Ink and Versamark Pen
- Snowflake White embossing powder
1 Stamp the owl onto white card, colour with brush markers and cut out. Stamp the hat, colour the main part of the hat red with a marker. Colour the trim with a Versamark pen and emboss with the snowflake powder. Cut out.
2 Stamp and emboss multiple snowflakes onto white card using snowflake white embossing powder. Using a sponge, ink over the embossed images with Brilliance Ink – the embossed images will resist the ink. Swipe with a baby wipe to remove excess ink from the embossed images. This will be your background.
3 Cut a branch shape from brown card (I traced around a Grungeboard shape – I was too stingy to use my precious Grunge on a Christmas card!). Emboss the branch with a Cuttlebug folder if desired, and ink the raised areas in brown.
4 Stick the branch to the bottom of the snowflake panel. Stick the owl in position ‘standing’ on the branch and stick the hat onto his head. Finish with an embossed, matted greeting. (TIP: If you don't have an Xmas greeting, stamp the word 'Joy' using any alphabet stamps you have in your stash).
I've made a couple more cards with this hat stamp which I'll post soon.

Temper, temper! Anger management issues in the workplace
Blog entry: November 21, 2012, 4:30 am | Author: SARA J. FAGNILLI
It's a subject made for the movies! But, unlike its depiction in the 2003 film, Anger Management, treatment for anger management issues is very serious business. Haven't we all been in a work situation where someone loses their temper? Know the employee with a reputation as the “office screamer?” Sometimes it can even be a boss!
While some people may be prone to outbursts of emotion at work, are these incidents simply a reflection of human nature or are they, perhaps, something more serious that an employer must address? Believe it or not, an employee with significant anger issues may be protected by various laws, if that anger is caused by or related to a medical condition.
As is the case with most employment-related disciplinary matters, the answer to the question of how to manage an employee with anger issues is - carefully. Each individual situation requires analysis to assess the issues involved and to determine how an employer should proceed. Are you dealing with the “office bully,” with an employee who consistently loses his or her temper with other employees, customers or clients, or with someone who just has a poor daily demeanor that manifests itself in regular outbursts, perhaps directed at no one in particular? In short, is this just an office bully or someone who has a mental impairment?
Workplace bullying, according to the Workplace Bullying Institute, is “repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons …one or more perpetrators…in the form of verbal abuse, offensive conduct/behaviors (including nonverbal) which are threatening, humiliating, or intimidating or work interference — sabotage — which prevents work from getting done.” Obviously, this definition covers someone who simply behaves badly in the workplace, but it also may describe the actions of an employee with a more serious, underlying behavioral problem. Employers may not, however, play psychologist/psychiatrist in attempting to assess an individual's actions. Therein lies the challenge for the employer, as it must make an effort to determine the best, most appropriate way to handle such behavioral issues without placing a "label" upon the employee.
If the incident is one for which discipline is appropriate, a part of that discipline could presumably involve the requirement that the employee get counseling – seems simple and straightforward, right? Maybe not.
Requiring an employee with anger problems to get counseling could trigger certain issues and protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). Requiring an employee to obtain counseling could be found to be equivalent to requiring a medical exam. In order for an employer to avoid a violation of the ADAAA, it must demonstrate that such an exam (or counseling) is job-related and that it is a business necessity.
So what do you do with the “office screamer” - the person who doesn't necessarily become involved in a confrontation with a co-worker or third party, but who has an unpleasant office demeanor that might not otherwise be subject to discipline? While that type of behavior could certainly lead to disciplinary action, a wise employer will want to derail that behavior before it escalates into a disciplinary event. It is possible for an employer - without running afoul of ADAAA regulations - to require that an employee attend a group anger management class. This type of group training can assist the employee in managing his or her interactions in the workplace, without necessarily implying that the employee has a mental impairment.
Anger is a significant workplace and societal issue, and there are professionals who deal specifically with anger management. The basic question, of course, centers around a determination of the source of one's anger which, in today's world, can stem from outside forces that ultimately manifest themselves within the workplace. While the majority of employees will not want their personal issues to impact their job situation, some people are unable to prevent that anger from manifesting itself at work. This situation is much more difficult to deal with from an employer's standpoint. While an employer should be reluctant to delve into an employee's personal situation, anger left unchecked can have drastic consequences in the workplace. This is an area where an employer would be well advised to proceed with caution and to consult with legal counsel early in the process in order to avoid ending up on the wrong end of an EEOC charge. | <urn:uuid:8073e861-577c-45fa-9a82-0bb322d877be> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://crainscleveland.com/article/20121121/BLOGS05/311219999/0/BLOGS01 | 2013-05-18T08:10:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964641 | 943 |
KDKA is reporting that a naked man has been spotted strolling the trails of North Park.
Police would like to talk to the man to see if he is a naturalist or if something more sinister is going on, KDKA reporter John Shumway said.
The man has been spotted on trails in the far eastern end of North Park, near Hemlock Apartments in Hampton, according to KDKA.
The TV station interviewed a woman who was walking her dog about 10 a.m. Wednesday when she “saw someone out of the corner of my eye. I looked over and there was an older man walking, with like pure white hair, kind of a bigger build and he was completely naked, strolling through the woods.
“He casually turned to look at me and then casually turned away. Not a care in the world.”
The woman said she “turned around and hightailed it out very quickly.”
One neighbor told KDKA that, with the weather turning cold, the problem might take care of itself. | <urn:uuid:ec4b0b66-9ec2-4b7e-aa6a-e0c8a633e690> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cranberry.patch.com/articles/nearby-naked-man-spotted-on-north-park-trails | 2013-05-18T06:51:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986072 | 219 |

Yeah I know about those
Owned, hmm but my original idea would be the defender(s) are trying to defend like crazy while their team races to the middle to set up a proper attack/defence of the moving zones. And since they move from side to side, choosing which way to go is a vital tactical decision.
I also have a question, and suggestion:
Q: If I made a nano-penta map, and you liked it, which round would you put it in? Nano does seem to be lacking, while the chico/penta level is very full. Perhaps if you made several penta maps they could take a whole level, but this would probably take a restructure of some other levels.
Suggestion: There are certain levels on CTWF that I feel are slightly less 'crazy' than others, and since there are quite a few less nano levels, perhaps chaing some to nano would solve both problems in one go? For example German Sausage...
No offence to their makers, but I just don't feel the crazyness | <urn:uuid:be2da372-73dd-42e8-b364-cadbf9f0fcdb> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://crazy-tronners.com/viewtopic.php?p=34887 | 2013-05-18T08:02:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696381249/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092621-00000-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977686 | 402 |

At IRM Safety we’ve already had a prime example of how traditional command and control fails to work, with one of our clients. A large organisation with several locations and a silo mentality. Each department on each location ‘does their own thing’, so there are virtually no connections between them. Lack of shared knowledge had resulted in problems not being identified and, therefore, not able to be resolved. The cost has been an audit that should not have been necessary and processes that now have to be ‘reinvented’ in each location to not only meet the internal and external compliances, but to address the issues that are only just being discovered after years of ineffective operation.
A book published recently (The Secrets of CEOs by Steve Tappin and Andrew Cave) says that the way forward is to take a close look at how the internal teams in your organisation operate. They advise ditching command and control and embracing total transparency. In fact, the recommendation is to develop fellowship within the organisation – something that Molly Harvey (www.thesoulwoman.com) has been promoting very successfully for some years now.

Day Two of Sock Summit is behind me now, folks, and the whirlwind is still going strong. My feet hurt, I am 99% out of touch with non-knitting non-Portland world, but I’m just continuing to tell myself that’s OK because at the moment knitting world is going pretty great down here in Portland. Today, I got up, hung out with some knitters, listened and learned about design from Marjan Hammick (Yarnissima), and talked a little German with her, participated in a record-setting Guinness Book of World Records knit-in, bought more yarn, escaped to downtown for a delicious hamburger, investigated Powell’s bookstore where I scored a hardcover copy of Meg Swansen’s Knitting, bought cupcakes, and did a quick turnaround before heading out to the Sock Hop at the Portland Art museum.
It continues to be pretty trippy, being here. At the Sock Hop I chatted with a few people and commented that “you know, this is all pretty hysterical,” and whoever I was talking to would nod vigorously. Someone (the Canadian gal above from Make One Yarn Studio whose name I cannot remember), added that it is hard to know “am I done?” at the end of the day/class/event/etc because it all sort of meshes and keeps on going in your head.
At this point, any delusions I had about presenting photos or captions in any detailed or logical order is sort of breaking down, so I’ll just wing this a little bit. There are a few things about knitting world that this event is reaffirming for me, not the least of which is the community and shared knowledge.
Marjan, for example, takes inspiration from Bavarian stitches just as much as from the photography of Brooklyn Tweed. Cat Bordhi happily puts aside her circulars to knit on two straights if it means the World Record people require it. If you are any knitter at all knitting any particular pattern and need sudden help, another knitter will come rescue you. Everyone is learning from each other.
And if, say, you are Meg, and you are, say, knitting your own lace wedding veil, it turns out you can bring it to the Sock Summit and get people like Barbara Walker and Nancy Bush and, oh, EVERYONE EVER to knit a few stitches on it…
And if, say, you are Meg and you pull out your lace wedding veil and realize there is a dropped stitch situation going on, in the middle of a Sock Hop, the other knitters will all stand around and support you while you go ahead and fix that.
Also, if the Guinness Book of World Records shows up, this means that over 1200 knitters will show up and blow the previous Australian-set world record out of the sky, and still even feel a little bit bad about it for the Australians.
Pretty cool, using yarn to set a record. Also it’s pretty cool to hang out with this many knitters for this many days. I’m sure we’re all going to go through withdrawl by Monday. Good thing it’s not Monday yet.
